The Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) has joined hands with Miryang City in Gyeongsangnam-do to expand baseball infrastructure.

KBO said on the 7th, "Mayor Ahn Byung-gu of Miryang visited KBO on the 6th and met with President Koo Hu-yeon and discussed in-depth ways to utilize baseball infrastructure owned by Miryang City."

KBO President Koo Hu-yeon introduced examples of building infrastructure for local governments and decided to seek ways to contribute to revitalizing professional and amateur baseball and revitalizing the local economy through baseball, such as holding the Futures League regular season, Summer League, and Future Education League.

To this end, he explained the need to improve overall infrastructure, such as improving and supplementing facilities enough to host professional baseball second-tier games, such as expanding the stands of the main baseball stadium in Miryang City and establishing an indoor practice range.

Miryang Mayor Ahn Byung-gu responded, "We will strive to attract baseball, including the Futures League, by improving baseball infrastructure, and through this, we will contribute to revitalizing the local economy and creating a baseball boom in Miryang City."

Meanwhile, Miryang-si has a total of 7 baseball stadiums, including 4 sides (2 adult sides, 2 Little sides) in Miryang Sports Park, 2 sides (1 adult side, 1 Little side) in Gagok Baseball Stadium, and 1 main gate baseball stadium. Currently, the 2026 Shinsegae E-Mart Cup National High School Baseball Competition has been held here since the 25th of last month.

KBO will continue to make efforts to develop local baseball infrastructure through continuous cooperation with local governments.
