Ryu Ji-hyun, who is aiming for a good performance at the 2026 World Baseball Classic (WBC) in March, will enter a full-fledged practical mode.

According to the KBO (Korea Baseball Organization) on the 12th, the Korean national baseball team, led by coach Ryu Ji-hyun (55), will conduct a total of six warm-up matches with domestic professional baseball teams at a training camp in Okinawa, Japan, ahead of the main tournament in March.

The warm-up match schedule will start with the first match against the Samsung Lions on February 20. He will then face the Hanwha Eagles on the 21st and 23rd, the KIA Tigers on the 24th, the Samsung Lions on the 26th, and the KT Wiz on the 27th in turn, facing four teams six times.

The series was designed to coordinate the players' sense of practice ahead of the official WBC practice match in Osaka, Japan, and the final round of the Tokyo Dome in early March. Manager Ryu Ji-hyun plans to focus on checking the pitcher's condition and raising the strike pace of the fielders through this warm-up match.

In particular, in order to protect players and maintain efficient condition, all games will be shorter than regular innings, and detailed game innings will be operated flexibly depending on the on-site situation.

Live broadcasting services for fans have also been prepared in abundance. The entire warm-up match will be broadcast live on Naver's streaming platform "Chizik" and KBO's official YouTube channel. In addition, TV live can be watched through sports channels such as KBSN Sports, MBC Sports Plus, and SPOTV, so you can watch Ryu Ji-hyun's preparation process from your home room.

Meanwhile, the national team, led by head coach Ryu Ji-hyun, will move to Osaka, Japan, in early March, hold an official practice game, and then play in the first round of the WBC finals.
