Doosan Bears and Kiwoom Heroes play at Bears Park in Icheon, Gyeonggi-do.

Doosan's home stadium, Jamsil Stadium in Seoul, will be available for use starting on the 14th due to internal construction issues.

The same goes for Kiwoom.The home stadium, Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul, was decided to be used after the opening of the regular season due to scheduling problems in the American Professional Baseball Major League (MLB) opening series.

All 2024 exhibition games will start at 1 p.m. and will be played with 10 games per team until the 19th.

LG and Kiwoom, which are holding practice games with MLB's San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers, will each play only eight games.

Both affiliated and developed players can participate in exhibition games, and there is no limit to the number of participants.

Overtime and doubleheaders will not be played, and canceled games will not be rescheduled.

The Automatic Pitching System (ABS), which will be introduced in professional baseball for the 2024 season, will also be introduced starting from demonstration games.

Base size expansion and defensive shift restrictions also apply.

Each professional baseball club plans to confirm players' roles and finalize preparations for the new season through exhibition games.

Above all, adaptation to ABS is key.

This year, the KBO League decided to introduce ABS, which uses a tracking system and a computer program to determine the ball, for the first time in professional baseball in Korea, the United States, and Japan. 토토사이트
