Hanwha hosted its first spring camp at Ballpark in Melbourne, Australia from Jan. 25 to Feb. 19.
Melbourne's first spring camp consisted of 61 people, including coach Kim Kyung-moon and nine coaching staff, six training coaches and 45 players.
Hanwha left Melbourne on the 19th and arrived at Incheon International Airport on the 20th after the Blue and White match on the 18th, and immediately headed to Okinawa, Japan, where the second spring camp was held.
In the first camp, fielders focused on basic skills such as defense and base running, and pitchers systematically played bullpen pitching and live pitching. A total of eight practice games are scheduled for the second camp. Among them, the match against the Samsung Lions on the 21st was canceled due to rain.
As it was focused on the actual game, the number of people was reduced for selection and concentration. A total of seven players were missing. Kim Ki-jung, Han Ji-yoon, Kim Gun, Choi Jun-seo, and Lee Min-jae build themselves at Kochi Futures Camp. Lee Seung-jin and Moon Seung-jin joined Seosan. No additional players have joined the Okinawa camp.

Jung Woo-joo did not look perfect in control in real life, but he showed the possibility of using the first team by throwing a fast ball of more than 150km.
The biggest hit is Kwon Min-gyu. Kwon Min-gyu, who was recognized for his control in the closing camp, predicted a big hit this year by pitching perfect with five strikeouts in two ⅔ innings in a practice game against the Australian national team.
Park Boo-sung also appeared in a practice game against the Australian national team and received good reviews for allowing four hits (one home run), one walk, three strikeouts and two runs in three innings despite inclement weather.
After the Melbourne camp, head coach Kim Kyung-moon said, "Thank you to the coaching staff and players for the end of the camp without any major injuries" and added, "Practice games continue in Okinawa's second camp." We will make up for the shortcomings through the actual games and prepare for exhibition games and the opening of the regular season.
Meanwhile, while the practice game against Samsung was canceled due to rain on the 21st, Hanwha will play a practice game against the Hanshin Tigers' second team on the 22nd.
