Although it is a "vacation" without team training until mid-January for professional baseball players, there are players who voluntarily return their vacation and start "building their bodies" early in preparation for the 2025 season. In particular, seniors who receive high salaries from each club, including Ryu Hyun-jin (38, Hanwha Eagles), Choi Hyung-woo (42), and Kim Sun-bin (36, KIA Tigers), set up a "mini-training camp" with their juniors at their own expense, drawing attention.토토사이트

According to the baseball community on the 6th, Ryu Hyun-jin left for Okinawa, Japan, on the 2nd, set up a small training camp there, and started basic physical training with his juniors. The camp, which was set up by the ace representing Korean baseball, was joined by pitchers from the same team, Jang Min-jae, Hwang Joon-seo, Jang Ji-soo, Park Sang-won, Lee Min-woo, Kim Bum-soo, and Joo Hyun-sang. Ryu Hyun-jin is also customizing his know-how learned from the U.S. Major League (MLB), paying for round-trip tickets and local stays for some juniors.

" (MLB players) come to the spring camp with their bodies ready to play games," Ryu said in a YouTube broadcast by Lee Dae-ho, a former professional baseball player who appeared before leaving for Okinawa. "That's not the culture of Korean baseball. I come to the camp and slowly build my body, which is unimaginable," he said, explaining why he runs an autonomous training group.

Last year's unified champion Kia set up a mini-camp each with Choi Hyung-woo and Kim Sun-bin to build a dynasty. Choi Hyung-woo left for Guam on the 4th with outfielders Lee Woo-sung and Choi Won-joon, while Kim Sun-bin will head to Okinawa with his juniors Park Chan-ho, Park Jung-woo and Han Jun-su on the 9th. They will increase their physical strength and sense of play in Guam and Okinawa, and then move to Irvine, the U.S., the team's official spring camp, on the 23rd.

An official from KIA said, "The training ahead of the spring camp is carried out autonomously by the players, so the training costs are also solved by the players themselves," adding, "A virtuous cycle structure is being created in which the younger players' passion for training increases more with the example of the veteran."
