Hanwha Eagles completed the 2026 Australia-Japan spring camp schedule, which began on January 25, after training on the 4th.

Hanwha first said, "In the first Melbourne camp in Australia, we trained focusing on strengthening basic skills and tactics, and confirmed the training performance through three warm-up matches with Melbourne Aces in Australia."

"In the second Okinawa camp in Japan, I raised my sense of practice with eight practice games," he explained.

In a total of 11 practice games held during this camp, Hanwha had a total of 5 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses, including 1 draw and 2 losses in Australia and 5 wins and 3 losses in Japan.

Hanwha said, "The Hanwha team, which has carried out the training that has been prepared from Australia to Japan without a hitch, will return home by maintaining tension caused by internal competition."

"Rookie Oh Jae-won and Choi Yoo-bin also showed growth by completing the spring camp and established themselves as expected factors. Oh Jae-won stressed that he had the most 11 hits in the team in practice games, and Choi Yu-bin showed his presence as an infield utility resource.

Above all, Oh Jae-won's leap is noticeable. Oh Jae-won played in 30 high school league games last year and posted a batting average of 0.438 (46 hits in 105 at-bats), one home run, 14 RBIs, 21 walks, 32 steals, and an OPS (On base rate + slugging rate) of 1.195. The main position is center field. He was selected by the Hanwha Eagles as the third overall pick of the first round in the 2026 rookie draft. The down payment for joining was 270 million won.

Oh Jae-won is the winner of the 2025 Futures Star Award in the Baseball category. At that time, the selection committee said of Oh Jae-won, "He is the best among amateur outfielders. It is an immediate sense of power with a weak physique and excellent center line resources for offense and defense," he said, adding, "It can be used as a pinch runner and logistical cost even at the professional level. He has good eye contact and ability. He also praised his batting ability." He then said, "When hitting, he has punch power compared to his physique, has a fast main force, so he has excellent base play and a wide range of defense. He also has a sense of stealing. He has a temperament as an adventurer and has a sincerity about baseball. He said, "I have a good ability to cope with stress."

Oh Jae-won is competing with Lee Won-seok for the starting position in center field. Coach Kim Kyung-moon, the head coach, affirmed Oh Jae-won and Lee Won-seok during the Okinawa camp, saying, "As we continue to compete, the player in good condition will go out first when we get closer to the opening game."

Coach Kim Kyung-moon said, "Through this camp, we have discovered a lot of good things about the team. I want to praise him for his good defense and his team batting in batting while playing practice games. I think we can expect a few new pitchers, he said. "I will return to Korea and prepare for the last time with the players and visit the fans in good form."

Meanwhile, the Hanwha team will return home through Incheon International Airport (KE2148) on the 5th and continue preparing for the season by playing practice games with the Futures team in Daejeon on the 9th and 10th.
