The Lotte 1st team, which consisted of 13 coaching staff and 47 players, departed for Guam on the 1st and conducted the first camp while undergoing physical and technical training.

After returning to Korea on the 19th, Lotte plans to leave for Okinawa, Japan on the 20th, and conduct camps focusing on actual combat. On the 22nd and 24th, they will have a practice game against the Chiba Lotte Marines 2nd team on Ishigaki Island, and will move to the main island of Okinawa on the 27th to play six practice games against KBO league teams.
