"This camp is different even from the eyes of the players."

Leaving behind the underdog evaluation, he entered the fall baseball league for the second consecutive year. The Samsung Lions are now preparing for the new season with the goal of winning. Samsung coach Park Jin-man (50), who is starting a new start, will start the real game system with a smile.

Samsung returned home temporarily via Incheon International Airport on the morning of the 9th after its first spring camp in Guam on the 9th.

There is no rest. He immediately departed for Okinawa, Japan, the site of the second training camp, by air at 10:10 a.m.

Samsung, which had stayed only in Okinawa and prepared for the new season, chose Guam, which had been used as the first camp site in the past, again since last year. Samsung stayed only in Okinawa to minimize the time spent on travel and jet lag and invest more time in "hell training," but Okinawa's climate did not meet expectations due to frequent rain, strong winds and colder weather than expected before the second camp, when most teams joined.

This time, especially, satisfaction with the Guam camp was high. Coach Park Jin-man said, "The players have been doing very well during the off-season," adding, "In the game, we trained with a focus on the strength and physical training of the players, and we got much better results than expected."

"We have camped together for several years, but this camp is different even from the players' eyes. Now I think I'm really showing the image of a strong team," he explained.

The reason why this season is more exciting is clear. This is because the players' experience has been accumulated over the past two seasons in the fall baseball, and they caught all three internal free agents, including Kang Min-ho, in the stove league and brought back Choi Hyung-woo. Catcher Park Se-hyuk was added through a trade after the end of the season.

Coach Park Jin-man said, "The atmosphere has become brighter with the arrival of senior players such as Choi Hyung-woo and Park Se-hyuk. Even in a bright atmosphere, it seems that positive factors are being added to the entire squad through competition with each other.

Ariel Furado, who played more consistently than anyone else, and Lewin Diaz, the home run-run king who played MVP-class last year, also stayed. New foreign pitcher Matt Manning was a first-round pick by the Detroit Tigers and pitched in 50 big league games. Miya Yura in the Asian quarter will help Samsung's back door with bullpen resources that spray up to 158 kilometers per hour.

Coach Park Jin-man also expressed satisfaction with foreigners. "Manning is also pitching in the bullpen and is doing well according to his schedule. Since he is a player with ball power and skills, he expressed his expectation that he will be able to play a big role in our team if he adapts quickly to Korean baseball, and about Miyaji, "In the game, I trained to systematically adjust the player's body focusing on training. I think we need to go to Okinawa and make a good schedule so that we can maximize the technical part," he said.

Regarding rookies Lee Ho-beom and Jang Chan-hee who joined the first-team camp, he said, "We once again confirmed the good skills of the rookies. It must have been difficult in terms of physical strength in the hot weather, but he endured it well. He is growing well by competing with his seniors. I hope you will prepare well to further improve the technical aspects even when you go to Okinawa," he encouraged.

Meanwhile, Samsung will play a total of eight practice games, including two practice games with the national team that will play in the WBC in Okinawa. Coach Park Jin-man said, "Since the first goal has been completed well in Guam, I think we should train in Okinawa, the second camp, focusing on improving our skills. I'm very satisfied that I started in a good atmosphere from my first training session of the season, and the players deserve praise," he said.
