How do you play in sub-zero temperatures and snow forecasts.

At the end of the exhibition game, KBO League teams are on alert. This is because we have no choice but to worry about what to do with the exhibition games that have to be held as the last all-out war.

The exhibition game is an important opportunity to raise the number of pitches for pitchers and to find the sense of play for fielders ahead of the opening of the regular season. The last competitive position 'Choose the Jade' must also be done.




However, heaven is not helping the teams ahead of the end of the exhibition game. The game was canceled in Busan and Changwon on the 15th due to rain. Lotte Giants manager Kim Tae-hyung, KT Wiz manager Lee Kang-chul, NC Dinos manager Lee Ho-joon and Hanwha Eagles manager Kim Kyung-moon all expressed concerns about the pitchers' schedules.

The problem is the last exhibition game schedule to be held on the 17th and 18th. The forecast for the 'Spring Cold' has come. It's not just cold. The minimum temperature drops below zero, and there is even a snow forecast. In fact, in Incheon on the 15th, LG Twins manager Yeom Kyung-yeop made the main players freely decide to play at a temperature below zero.

It's eye-catching in Daejeon. Daejeon will invite the Samsung Lions to its first official game at Hanwha Life Ball Park, its new home stadium. The first game on the 17th was changed to 6 p.m. to adjust to the night game.




It's an exhibition game, but fans are paying keen attention. It is a valuable opportunity to watch baseball at the new home stadium before the opening. On top of that, admission is free because it is a weekday. Hanwha opened about 10,000 seats, half of the capacity, due to circumstances, and tickets for both games were sold out early.

Daejeon has a minimum temperature of minus 2 degrees Celsius and a maximum temperature of 8 degrees Celsius on the 17th. On Wednesday, temperatures will drop further if it is cloudy and windy. There is even a snow forecast. It can be okay during the day, but night games can't help but worry about players' injuries.

The problem is that we can't even play this exhibition game roughly. All coaches will use their best power in the last two games to check the opening preparation mode. In particular, in the case of Hanwha, all the main players should go out even in order to adapt to the new home stadium. However, if you get injured in the cold weather, it is the worst scenario ahead of the opening.




Not only Daejeon but also other stadiums are worried about the cold. But only one place has plenty of room. It's Gocheok Sky Dome. You can play baseball in the same environment for one year and four seasons. Lotte is the away team that got lucky to play comfortably when other teams were shaking.
