While the autumn baseball season is in full swing, the NC Dinos have already begun preparations for next season. Ahead of the final season of Manager Lee Ho-jun's (50) contract, NC will hold 'CAMP 1' in Changwon and Okinawa, Japan.
The NC Dinos will conduct 'CAMP 1' in Changwon and Okinawa, Japan, from October 18 to November 23. This is the first step toward strengthening competitiveness for the 2027 season.
Training held during this period is typically referred to as a "finishing camp," but 'CAMP 1,' a term NC has used since 2018, carries the meaning of not only wrapping up the just-concluded season after its end, but also preparing for the next one.
Through this camp, NC aims to enhance the technical proficiency of its players and boost the development of young prospects, thereby significantly strengthening the overall depth of the roster.
This CAMP 1 will be conducted by splitting up training locations. From October 18 to November 2, both pitchers and position players will train at Changwon NC Park and Masan Baseball Stadium. Key players are all participating. Twenty-two players, including Koo Chang-mo, Kim Hyung-jun, Kim Hwi-jip, and Lee Woo-seong, will be at Changwon NC Park, while the remaining players will complete their schedule at Masan Baseball Stadium.
While players who have faced significant physical burdens over a season often take rest, NC has all its core players joining the training. Only five players were excluded: veteran Park Geon-woo, Park Min-woo, and Kim Ju-won, who participated in two international tournaments this year, among others.
Following this, starting November 3, the position player group will move to Kinoha Son Baseball Stadium in Okinawa, Japan, to continue their finishing training, while the pitching staff will remain in Changwon to continue their workouts.
NC Manager Lee Ho-jun said, "In this CAMP 1, we will focus on driving the growth of young players and enhancing the overall competitiveness of the team. All players will elevate their skills through training, and we aim to show a competitive performance in the 2027 season."
The list of participants for CAMP 1 in Okinawa is scheduled to be finalized and announced later.
