A drone appeared at the LG Twins' Arizona spring camp. It was not just to take an overall video of the training ground, but it was used as a training equipment to help the players improve their skills.
What LG's running coach Jung Soo-sung brought. But where is the drone taken from above helpful.
Coach Chung said, `I can comment on the movement while taking enough left and right videos. But it's not easy to watch videos from above"I'm using drone videos to start, base running, and turn while talking in detail from above. " From above, you can see the player's overall base running at a glance with a drone. I think you can find a faster path from what you see from above than from the side.
Coach Chung is introducing not only drones but also various equipment to base learning training.
Coach Chung said, `When training using equipment, a reference point is created while recording the players' data, and the top players with the fastest steal time can be checkedIt seems that the training effect is getting better because the players also train while looking at the data. The current steal start is Park Hae-min, Choi Won-young, and Song Chan's Shin Min-jae have a fast record of the top."

A time checker, a black stopwatch next to the speed sensor, allowed players to immediately view their records in real time. The efficiency of training is high because players can see their records themselves.
Ottogi has also been set up to practice so that he can run away from defenders when running the base. "When you turn on the base, if you put it next to the base, you can train and recognize the part that the players are careful not to bump into each other."
LG is the team that has attempted the most stolen bases for two consecutive years. He attempted to steal 267 times in 2023 and played 250 times last year. But the success rate was not very high. In 2023, it was the last place overall with a 62.2% success rate. He was the No. 1 stealer with 166 successes, but the last place in the success rate was clearly disappointing. It was because the opponent team prepared a lot due to the too aggressive steal attempt. Last year, the success rate improved a little, but it was not satisfactory. It was ranked ninth overall with a success rate of 68.4 percent. He was second in stolen bases with 171 successes.
Last year, seven players recorded double-digit stolen bases, the most among the 10 teams. As such, it can be said that most of the main players play. This year again, LG plans to take an aggressive style. This is because the fact that the opposing defense thinks of the runner's stolen base itself helps the batter hit. How high will the success rate of LG players' stolen bases increase due to coach Chung's sincerity in preparing drones.
