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 U-12 stadiums, two infield training fields, six pitchers/batters outdoor training fields and one indoor training facility.[1]

History[edit]

In 2016, the city of Tainan announced plans for the training complex in a bid to turn Tainan into a spring training base for professional baseball teams both within Taiwan and abroad.[2] Construction of the complex is split into two phases, with phase 1 focusing on the U-12 stadiums and phase 2 on the standard stadiums and other training facilities.[3] Phase 1 was completed in July, 2019 and just in time to host the 2019 U-12 Baseball World Cup, while phase 2 is slated for completion by end of 2023 to be inaugurated in CPBL's 2024 season. The Tainan-based Uni-President 7-Eleven Lions has expressed interests in moving to the new stadium once it is completed.[4]
