The KIA Tigers are dispatching promising prospects and coaching staff to the Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) stage to begin intensive skill refinement.

On the 30th, the KIA club announced that it will send a delegation of seven, including promising players and instructors, to the Orix Buffaloes' fall training camp held at the Higashi Stadium in Kochi Prefecture, Japan, from November 1 to 18.

According to the club, the dispatch roster includes four promising players: three pitchers (Lee Song-chan, Kim Chan-min, Choi Yu-chan) regarded as the next generation of key figures on the mound, and one catcher (Kwon Da-gyeol) who will guard home plate. In addition, three coaching staff members are accompanying them to strengthen their instructional capabilities and directly absorb advanced development know-how, joining the players in the training schedule.

During the dispatch period, the team will directly participate in Orix's fall training program, a prestigious NPB club renowned for its precise fundamentals and systematic training methods. By experiencing Japan's unique detailed technical guidance and high-intensity training firsthand, it is expected to be an opportunity not only to improve individual skills but also to elevate their perspective on game management by one level.

The club explained that this dispatch is a strategic choice aimed at further upgrading the club's overall farm system, going beyond simple overseas commissioned training. The plan is to create an opportunity to unlock the potential of each promising player early while having the accompanying instructors internalize advanced training methodologies and player management processes to integrate them into KIA's medium- to long-term development system.

A KIA club official stated, "We are actively providing the team with opportunities for advanced baseball training and experience, and plan to gradually expand international exchanges with overseas clubs, including Orix."
