Hideki Matsui, an alumnus who is serving as a temporary coach for the professional baseball Giants' camp for the first time in six years, arrived at the camp site in Miyazaki City on the 9th. Matsui played for the Giants and Major League Yankees.
The coaching period will be for four days, from the 10th to the 13th. The Giants are trying to make a comeback from fourth place for the second consecutive year under manager Shinnosuke Abe, who played for both Giants and Yankees.
