The Lotte Giants are looking for a left-hander to ease the burden on Chung Hyun-soo, who has played 82 games this year.
Lotte will leave for Miyazaki in Japan on the 2nd for the second round of wrap-up camp. Through the closing camp, which will be held until the 24th, we plan to sharpen our efforts in preparation for the 2026 season.
Coach Kim Tae-hyung predicted a closer winter preparation than ever. Earlier, a large number of key players, including Kim Won-joong and Park Se-woong, and Hwang Sung-bin and Na Seung-yeop, participated in the first round of closing camp to strengthen basic physical strength and supplement personal skills.
Lotte set up the Miyazaki closing camp with a total of 44 players, including 16 coaching staff including manager Kim Tae-hyung, including nine pitchers, four catchers, nine infielders and six outfielders.
What stands out the most is that five out of a total of nine pitchers are left-handed pitchers. With the exception of starter Gamboa and bullpen Jung Hyun-soo this season, Lotte has been troubled by left-hander famine. In particular, Jung Hyun-soo played 47 ⅔ innings in 82 games with a 3.97 ERA with 2 wins and 12 holds.

Manager Kim Tae-hyung has repeatedly expressed his intention to use Chung Hyun-soo as a pitcher who plays a slightly broader role than a bullpen against left-handed hitters. If one or two of Song Jae-young, Jang Se-jin, Kim Ki-jun, and Lee Young-jae come up to the first team level in this final camp, Chung Hyun-soo can rise to the main bullpen.
It includes all of the major players of the fielders, such as Yoon Dong-hee, Ko Seung-min, Na Seung-yup, Son Ho-young, and Jeon Min-jae. In addition, Jang Doo-sung and Kim Dong-hyuk, who filled the gap in power during this season, and rookie Cho Se-jin, Han Tae-yang, Park Chan-hyung, Lee Ho-joon, Kim Se-min, Park Gun, and Kim Dong-hyun, 'Fall League Home Run King' were added. Among the rookies, Lee Seo-joon, a big shot infielder in the third round, and Jung Moon-hyuk, a catcher in the ninth round, were listed.

In particular, Han Tae-yang and Jeon Min-jae will experience advanced baseball through the nearby Chiba Lotte Finishing Camp. Ko Seung-min and Na Seung-yeop will also train at Tsukuba University to refine their batting mechanisms.
In addition to these, Kim Jin-wook, Park Joon-woo, and Jung Woo-joon will head to the Taiwan Winter League.
Lotte said, `In the second round of closing camp, fielders will focus on defensive training and improving team organization. We plan to provide an appropriate training environment to improve the skills of each player and increase the team's power by combining practical-oriented programs and professional training.
