Lotte has been conducting its fourth day of training for its spring camp at the Asia-Pacific International Baseball Center in Tainan, Taiwan since Tuesday morning. After taking a day off on the previous day, Lotte is re-energizing its schedule.

Following the 26th and 27th, Lotte has set up an early group for both the pitching and fielding teams to start training early on this day. It is a 10-minute drive from the accommodation where we stay during the camp, so the burden of travel is small, but it is inevitably tiring because breakfast after waking up at 7 a.m. and departure at 8 a.m.

The early runners were catcher Yoo Kang-nam, Information-geun, Baekdu, Park Geon-woo, and Park Jae-yeop. Infielders Jeon Min-jae, Han Tae-yang, and Lee Ho-joon also went to work early on. 

The catcher's team started the day with batting training. After warming up at the indoor training center, they turned their bat vigorously. They shouted "fighting" in loud voices and encouraged each other. Infielders conducted intensive defensive training under the guidance of defense coach Kim Min-ho. 

The catcher's team was wearing equipment as soon as the batting training was over. After playing catch ball at an indoor training site with battery coach Jeong Sang-ho, the team engaged in defensive training. The temperature was rather chilly in the morning, but the players quickly became soaked in sweat.

"Captors are assigned to the early group almost every day to start batting training early because they have to receive balls from pitchers during the morning bullpen session," Lotte's batting coach Lim Hoon said. "The spring camp period is bound to be tough. Thankfully, the players are doing their best without showing any signs of fatigue." 

Early adopters began their day by weight training. Among 20 pitchers who participated in the Taiwan camp, 10 were selected including Na Kyun-an, Jeong Cheol-won, Song Jae-young, Park Jin, Park Joon-woo, Chung Hyun-soo, Park Se-hyun, Lee Byung-joon, Kim Jin-wook, and Lee Min-seok. After finishing morning training, they immediately moved to the bullpen to practice pitching and prepare for pitch clock.

Compared to the first spring camp in Guam last year, Lotte has a tight schedule for its training camp in Taiwan. The fielders' team participate in the night training every day without fail. The pitching staff is also provided additional guidance mainly by young players.

Lotte players also faithfully built themselves throughout the winter and entered Taiwan. They are also making every effort to manage their conditions there. Most of them stayed at their accommodation on the 28th, which was a day off.

Lotte's first day off of spring camp coincided with the period of 春節, the biggest holiday in Taiwan. Most famous restaurants, tourist attractions, and shopping centers were closed, but the players focused on resting rather than going outside. Young players order local food through delivery apps, relieving their tiredness from training. 

Lotte's front desk prepared a small gift for the players on the day of their Lunar New Year. The company requested a Korean restaurant that serves lunch at the ballpark during the spring camp, and prepared tteokguk (rice cake soup) and holiday food for lunch.
