The LG Twins, who are trying to win the Korean Series for the second consecutive year, will hold the 2026 spring camp.

LG announced on the 20th that it will depart for Arizona on January 22 and 23 for the 2026 training camp.

Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop, 18 coaching staff, and 40 players, including captain Park Hae-min, will participate in Arizona training, which will run from January 25 to February 22. The team will return home on February 24 and 25, move to Okinawa, the second training site, for training and practice the next day, and return home on March 8.

The most anticipated is outfielder Lee Jae-won (27), who was discharged from the Armed Forces Sports Unit in December last year. Lee Jae-won hit 40 home runs in the Futures League for two seasons as a member of Sangmu. Last year, he dominated the Futures League with a batting average of 0.329 (91 hits in 277) with 26 home runs, 91 RBIs and 81 runs and an on-base percentage of 0.457 on-base plus slugging percentage of 1.100.

LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said at the New Year's greeting on the 6th, "In the end, Lee Jae-won is at the helm. "How tricky we become to the opposing team depends on how well Lee Jae-won makes use of this opportunity," he once said.

Left-hander Kim Junsung Park (19) in the second round of the 2026 KBO Rookie Draft and right-hander Kim Dong-hyun (21) in the 11th round will also leave together. The original plan was to include right-hander Yang Woo-jin (18) in the first round, but he was excluded from the spring camp list after undergoing surgery last winter.

On the 22nd, a total of 14 players, including Yoo Young-chan, Son Joo-young, Song Seung-ki, Lee Ji-gang, Jang Hyun-sik, Junsung Park, Lachlan Wells (pitcher), Park Dong-won (catcher), Shin Min-jae, Moon Bo-kyung, Koo Bon-hyuk, Austin Dean (infielder), Hong Chang-ki and Park Hae-min (outfielder), will go first. On the 23rd, a total of 19 players, including Ham Deok-ju, Kim Jin-soo, Lee Min-ho, Cho Won-tae, Park Si-won, Conditional Hee, Kim Dong-hyun, Jang Si-hwan, Yoni Chirinos, Anders Tolhurst (pitchers), Lee Han-rim, Kim Min-soo (catchers), Son Yong-joon, Chun Sung-ho, Lee Young-bin, Moon Jung-bin (infielders), Moon Sung-joo, Choi Won-young and Lee Jae-won (outfielder), will leave the country.
