KIA announced that it will depart for the U.S. on the 22nd and 23rd and play spring camps at the Great Park Baseball Complex and Okinawa Kin Stadium in Irvine from Jan. 25 to March 5. A team of 60 players, including 22 coaching staff and 38 players, will participate.

Eighteen pitchers, three catchers, 10 infielders and seven outfielders will participate in the camp. Pitcher Kim Tae-hyung is the only rookie this year.

In particular, all the team members and staff members are greatly supported by Chairman Chung. People can conveniently use the 10-hour flight to the U.S. and the long-distance flight to Korea for business purposes. "We expect this assistance to be of great help to reduce fatigue caused by long-distance travel as well as to quickly adjust to the jet lag," a club official said.

The camp will be divided into the first round (U.S.) and the second round (Japan). The camp will be first conducted in Irvine, the U.S., through a three-day training and one-day rest system from Friday. It will depart from the U.S. on Feb. 18 and arrive in Incheon on Feb. 19, before moving to Okinawa, Japan on Feb. 20 and having a full-fledged game from March 21 to March 4 at Kin Stadium.

Starting with Hiroshima, a Japanese professional baseball league, the team will have four warm-up matches with KBO league teams on Feb. 22. Afterwards, they will return to Korea to prepare for the regular league through an exhibition game.
