LG Twins, the reigning champions of the 2025 Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) Series, have received a unique commemorative gift: a custom 'Trackman B1 protective case'. This specialized case, designed by the Dutch headquarters of Trackman Baseball, is a testament to their championship victory and marks a significant first for Korean professional baseball.
Trackman Baseball, a company that utilizes military-grade radar technology to collect data on pitches and hits, previously reserved these custom-made B1 cases for the champions of Major League Baseball's World Series. The 2024 World Series champions, the Los Angeles Dodgers, were among the recipients. The LG Twins are the first team in the KBO to be honored with this exclusive award, highlighting their achievement on an international level.
The presentation of the case was made to LG Twins manager Austin and player Woo Kang-hoon, who posed for photos with the distinctive gift. Trackman Baseball has announced its intention to continue this tradition, offering specially crafted protective cases to any team that wins a championship using their B1 system, whether in MLB or the KBO.
With all 10 KBO teams currently utilizing the Trackman B1 system, the company anticipates that a new championship team will be honored with a custom case each season. This initiative not only celebrates the champions but also underscores the widespread adoption and importance of Trackman's technology in professional baseball.
