Professional baseball team Lotte Giants will focus on defensive training in Japan to prepare for the 2027 season.

The Lotte club will hold a defense-strengthening camp in Hyuga, Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan, from November 4 to 24.

A total of 50 people will participate in the camp, including 18 coaching staff members led by Manager Lee Dong Wook, 13 pitchers, 3 catchers, 9 infielders, and 7 outfielders. They will follow a schedule of four days of training followed by one day of rest.

Some players who were dispatched to the U.S. Driveline and Tread Athletics academies, as well as the training camps of Japan's Yomiuri Giants and Chiba Lotte Marines, are scheduled to join the main squad during the training.

Manager Lee said, "We will guide the players to internalize detailed situational movements and apply them in actual games," adding, "We will show a much-improved level of defense."
