San Diego Padres Kim Ha-seong participates in San Diego Padres spring camp after personal training. His parent team, Kiwoom Heroes, is setting up a spring camp in nearby Arizona, but Kim Ha-seong plans to do only individual training without going to Kiwoom camp.
Kim Ha-seong departed for Los Angeles, USA via Incheon International Airport on the 27th. Coincidentally, Lee Kang-chul, coach of the World Baseball Classic national team, also departed on the same plane that day.
Ha-seong Kim prepares for the San Diego spring camp by doing personal training at The Ballpark run by coach Choi Won-je in LA. So far, there have been cases where Korean major leaguers have been training together in groups in search of domestic professional clubs that are setting up camps in the United States. Hyun-Jin Ryu of the Toronto Blue Jays trained with the Hanwha Eagles, his parent team, who set up a camp in Arizona during his Los Angeles Dodgers days, and Jung-Ho Kang, who played for the Pittsburgh Pirates, and Byeong-Ho Park, who played for the Minnesota Twins, also trained at Nexen Camp before the team’s spring camp.

During the season, as well as during camp and off-season, I thought of it as competition and tried to work harder than other players.” “In our team, good players play on the ground. I think I will have to prepare well and face what I can do confidently.”
