The Giants’ fall camp in 2023 will force hard practice every day from early work to recapture V, and will move from Miyazaki to Okinawa on the 16th.
Will Yuto Akihiro, who is the tallest in the baseball world in his third year, wake up? who will lead the next generation, such as whether No. 1 Hayate Matsui will be registered under control.
Mixed with such young players, three veterans sweat every day. In addition to Hiroyuki Nakajima (40 years old), Hisayoshi Nagano (38 years old) who returned from Hiroshima and Nobuhiro Matsuda (39 years old) who transferred from Softbank.
Tatsuro Hirooka, who is a big OB and opinion in the baseball world, has a complaint about the giant with this veteran trio.

[A oedd angen i Matsuda ennill?]
“Why are there three 40-year-old right-handers who all have the same type of game? Nagano, who was a regular for the Giants until 2018 and went to Hiroshima for personal compensation, is a pitcher and an infielder . is known as a person of character who invites him to dinner without discrimination. I still don’t understand why Nagano was caught, but was it necessary to catch Matsuda too?”
Even if the acquisition of Nagano is inevitable, the acquisition of Matsuda seems unconvincing.
“There were reports that Matsuda started practicing second base, but why are you assigning a veteran to rival Yoshikawa (Naoki) at second base? Well, having veterans challenge other positions might create excitement in the camp, but it seems like they’re doing it for fun.”
Maybe there is a part that Matsuda got as an existence that completely changes the atmosphere of the team, but the current giants should not have the freedom to leave him on the bench of the first army as a vocalist.
Of course, there are many cases where veterans in their first year of transition play an active role due to a complete change in environment. Matsuda, who can defend third base and first base, can play in the starting lineup depending on the situation. That said, it would be cruel to expect too much from her age. If he works well as a starter…… There will be expectations, but it won’t be easy throughout the season.
