The Hanwha Eagles, who are embarking on a complete overhaul for the upcoming season, will depart through Incheon International Airport on the 30th for a 'Customized Development First Camp for the 2027 Season,' which includes sending players to Japanese professional baseball teams.

Regarding the scale of this camp, Hanwha stated, "It consists of a total of 34 people, including Manager Ryu Ji-hyun and coaching staff, 13 pitchers, 4 catchers, 7 infielders, and 10 outfielders." The team explained that they will arrive in Miyazaki, Japan, on the 30th, conduct training at Miyazaki Soken Stadium from the 31st until the 21st of next month, and return to Korea on the 22nd.

A representative feature of this camp is the application of a customized development system for each individual player.

In practice, at the Miyazaki camp, training begins at 7:00 a.m. with joint sessions, followed by individual training in the afternoon that concludes at different times according to each player's tailored program.

Additionally, to aim for improving player skills and strengthening core power for next season, the team is concurrently sending players to the Yokohama DeNA BayStars of Japanese professional baseball.

Four players—Kang Jae-min, Jung Eun-won, Choi In-ho, and Park Jun-young (jersey number 68)—will proceed from the Yokohama closing camp (November 2 to November 14) to the Miyazaki camp (November 14 to November 22).

Last year, Hanwha sent three players (Park Jung-hyun, Jung Min-gyu, and Han Ji-yoon) to the Yokohama closing camp for the first time to gain advanced baseball experience. Park Jung-hyun and Han Ji-yoon proved their potential this season by recording 11 home runs and 6 home runs, respectively.

Along with this, four players—Park Jun-young (jersey number 96), Hwang Jun-seo, Jung Woo-ju, and Kang Geon-woo—who are currently dispatched to the Japanese specialized training facility 'Next Base Athletics Lab' for skill improvement of emerging pitchers will join the team's first camp on the 4th of next month after completing their customized training schedule.

Players who do not participate in the Miyazaki camp are scheduled to train according to the IDP (Individual Development Plan) program already planned at the Seosan Futures Stadium.

The IDP is a customized growth plan for players established jointly through consultation between the front office and coaching staff. After a pilot operation last year, it was expanded to the entire Futures League roster this season.

Furthermore, Hanwha stated that "rehabilitating players, as well as rookies and development contract players, will prepare for next season in Seosan by combining technical training centered on physical training."
