The Asia-Pacific International Baseball Training Centers (Chinese: 亞太國際棒球訓練中心; pinyin: Yàtài Guójì Bàngqiú Xùnliàn Zhōngxīn) is a baseball training complex in Tainan, Taiwan. The complex consists of two standard stadiums, two youth stadiums, two infield training fields, six outdoor pitching/batting training lanes and an indoor training facility.[1]

History

[edit]

The city of Tainan announced in 2016 the plans for the training complex aimed to turn Tainan into a spring training base for professional baseball teams from Taiwan and abroad.[2] Construction of the complex is split into two phases, with Phase 1 focusing on the youth league stadiums, and Phase 2 on the standard stadiums and other training facilities.[3] Phase 1 was completed just in time to host the 2019 U-12 Baseball World Cup, while Phase 2 is expected to be completed by end of 2024 to be inaugurated in CPBL's 2025 season. The Uni-President 7-Eleven Lions, which is currently based in the Tainan Municipal Baseball Stadium, is expected to move to the new stadium once it is completed.[4]

The complex saw its first professional use in 2024, when Uni-President 7-Eleven Lions hosted their spring training in the secondary stadium and the adjoining facilities.[5]
