Coach Ryu Ji-hyun of the WBC national team and Chairman Cho Kye-hyun of the Korea Power Enhancement Committee will depart for the United States on the 8th. Ryu and Chairman Cho are scheduled to visit Arizona and Florida, where Major League Spring Training Camp is being held, sequentially.
He will return home on the 17th after watching the games between Korean and Korean players playing in the Major League and observing the games of other national players who may participate in the WBC.
The top priority is checking the conditions of Korean major leaguers and confirming their intention to participate in the WBC in March next year. Korean players currently playing in the big leagues, including San Francisco Giants Lee Jung-hoo and Tampa Bay Rays Kim Ha-sung, and prospective players playing in minors, including Jang Hyun-seok, can be targeted.
As the Major League Secretariat actively encourages major leaguers to participate in the WBC from the 2023 tournament, Lee Jung-hoo or Kim Ha-sung's participation is not expected to be difficult if the players are willing to participate. However, the possibility of minor leaguers including Jang Hyun-seok's participation remains to be seen.

Influenced by his mother's family living in California, he was familiar with Korean culture and was also settled in the St. Louis Cardinals team at the time, so he readily expressed his intention to participate in the national team and it was successful.
Edman's personal performance in the WBC was somewhat disappointing, and the national team also suffered the humiliation of being eliminated in the first round in a sagging atmosphere, but Edman has been on a roll since then. He moved to the Dodgers through a trade and became a major player in the World Series, rising to the ranks of the "Star". In addition, the ransom soared, signing an extension contract with the Dodgers for up to 74 million dollars (about 107.3 billion won) for five years.

Dane Dunning or Joe Ross, Rob Refsnyder and Mitch White, who signed with SSG Landers this season, could also be eligible.
WBC is a competition that encourages players to play as players on the team if their ancestry is confirmed even if they do not have nationality. This is also the most fundamental reason why European countries and some Latin American countries, which do not have professional leagues recently, are active in the tournament. WBC became a competition that no team could easily ignore as players of national descent who played baseball in the United States and had professional-level skills played for the national team. As the number of teams with goblins has increased, the Korean national team also needs to be thoroughly prepared.
