"Who plays catch?"
a snow-covered ground. There were two players who played catch through the heavy snow at the baseball stadium, where snow suddenly became thick. The last exhibition game between SSG Landers and KIA Tigers, which was scheduled to start at 1 p.m. at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on the 18th, was canceled due to snowfall. On the previous day (17th), the cold wave was canceled due to the cold, and the aftermath continued until the next day. A strong wind began to blow as it snowed from dawn, and snow accumulated in the Champions Field to the extent that the entire ground was covered white. In the end, the snowfall was canceled early at 10 a.m.
Manager Lee Bum-ho said "It has been canceled, but I don't think it will be too difficult to prepare for the opening. Most pitchers have raised the number of pitches and innings, and there are not many pitchers who throw 100 pitches at the beginning of the season, so I think it will be okay"The bullpen pitchers also prepared for some innings." There was nothing special I wanted to check in the last two exhibition games. I don't think there will be a problem"I was relieved.

Although the exhibition games have been canceled, the athletes' sports cannot be rested. KIA players, the home team, started training indoors first. However, there were two 's men's men' playing catch in shorts with their bare legs on the snowy ground. It was infielders Kim Do-young and Byun Woo-hyuk. Regardless of the pouring snow, the two warmed up lightly by increasing the catch distance. It was cold, but he laughed, `It's not very cold.' Teammates even came out and took pictures saying, `That's amazing.'
The light catch ended in about five minutes. KIM DO YOUNG is so romantic"I laughed, but there was actually a reason for the heavy snow catch. Byun Woo-hyuk shook off the snow accumulated on his head, saying "There were so many players inside that there was no room to catch."

Kim Do-young said "Today's game was canceled, so I played fewer exhibition games than last year, but it's okay. It's 144 games, so I don't think it'll be a problemWhen asked about his feelings ahead of the opening, "I really hope it opens soon. After the spring camp, I thought a lot that I wanted to open the exhibition game early from the middle of the exhibition game. Whenever the opening comes, something becomes grand and excitement is full of excitement. The weather seems to be getting warmer from the start of the season, and I think we will be able to play on a perfect day," he smiled.
