Even amidst an impressive seven-game winning streak, the Lotte Giants baseball team is maintaining its rigorous extra training regimen. The team has been arriving at the stadium an hour earlier than usual, starting their day at 1 p.m. instead of 2 p.m., for additional batting practice. This dedication to extra work is particularly evident with key players. Notably, Na Seung-yeop, who was named the Most Valuable Player in the previous game, was also present for early training on June 25th at Sajik Baseball Stadium in Busan. Core hitter Ko Seung-min was also seen participating in these extended sessions. While increasing training volume is a common response to poor team performance, the Giants' continued commitment to extra practice, even during a winning streak, underscores their intense desire to excel and maintain their momentum. This proactive approach suggests a deep-seated drive within the team to push their performance to even higher levels.
