The Lotte Futures team left for Tainan, Taiwan via Incheon International Airport on Feb. 25. The team also includes experienced players in the first division, including Noh Jin-hyuk and Kim Min-sung, and will conduct intensive training sessions led by Futures coach Kim Yong-hee to strengthen physical strength and enhance practical skills for 25 days.
Son is expected to be Lotte's next flagship catcher. After joining Lotte as the 10th overall pick in the second round of the first round in 2021, he is regarded as a catcher with outstanding defense and strong shoulders. Since joining the pro league, he has steadily grown and played in 86 games, his personal record, in the 2024 season. However, he had a batting average of 0.197, six homers, 21 RBIs, and an OPS of 0.653, which left his team lacking in offensive power. His major tasks will be sharpening his bat and enhancing his ability to run games.
"I want to play as soon as possible because I am in good physical condition," Son said through the club before leaving the country. "I want to improve my condition as soon as possible as I can play in a good environment and contribute to the team this season." "I will thoroughly prepare for the season with my coaches and coaches at Future's camp and show them better performances," Son said.
Lotte's catcher competition is expected to be even fiercer this season. With veterans Yoo Kang-nam and Bo Ji-geun staying in the first division, Son is also ready to compete for the starting lineup in earnest. In particular, he is expected to make more aggressive plays based on his potential in the first division during the 2024 season.
Meanwhile, a total of 25 players participated in the Futures Camp, including manager Kim Yong-hee, 10 coaching staff, 12 pitchers, 3 catchers, 6 infielders, and 4 outfielders. Kim Dong-hyuk, the captain of the Futures Team, said, "The team atmosphere is really good. I heard that the Taiwanese camp environment is optimized for training, and as a captain, I will lead the team to focus more."
After conducting intense physical and technical training early in the camp, the Lotte Futures team will have a total of nine warm-up matches with Taiwanese professional teams. Through actual matches with the Taigang Hawks, the Fubang Guardians, the Wei-Juan Dragons, the Rakuten Monkeys, and the Tung Lions, the team will enhance the players' sense of play and check their power.
Attention is focusing on whether Son Sung-bin, who will be responsible for Lotte's future, will be able to grow one step further through this off-season training and solidify his position on the first-team stage.
