KT Wiz announced the list of spring camps to leave the country on the 21st. Jang Sung-woo (36), a "veteran catcher" who is continuing internal FA (free agent) negotiations, was eventually excluded from the list without a contract.

The KT Wiz club said on the morning of the 18th, "We will hold a spring camp to prepare for the 2026 season," and announced the schedule of the spring camp and the list of 59 players.

According to the KT club, the team will depart for Melbourne, Australia, on the 21st, conduct three days of autonomous training at the Geelong Baseball Center, and begin full-fledged training from the 25th. A total of 59 people, including coach Lee Kang-chul, who will mark his eighth season with KT, 12 coaching staff and 47 players, will participate in the camp.

A large number of new faces have joined this camp. A total of 14 players, including Kim Hyun-soo, Choi Won-joon and Han Seung-taek, who signed FA contracts last year, Han Seung-hyuk, Ahn In-san, four foreign players (including Asian quarter players), and five rookies in 2026 (pitchers Park Ji-hoon, Ko Joon-hyuk, infielders Lee Kang-min, Kim Gun-hwi, and Lim Sang-woo), were on the camp list.
