What does Taka / Kudo want to do after he retires? Future vision revealed at the press conference | Full-Count

“I like the outdoors, so I want to go camping for about a day when I’m calm.”

Softbank coach Kimiyasu Kudo, who will retire this season, held a press conference at the PayPay Dome on the 27th. The commander, who won the league title three times in seven years and won the number one spot in Japan five times, revealed what he wanted to do after he retired, “I want to go camping.”

For seven years, Kudo has been devoting himself to baseball and the team while he sleeps. When asked about the future, he said, “I like the outdoors, so I’d like to go camping in Kyushu, go to various places, and see various scenery.” I haven’t set it up, but I want to go camping for about a day when I’m calm. “

Since he was in charge of the director, he has been actively working on reconstruction support for the Kumamoto earthquake and heavy rains in northern Kyushu. I think that the god of baseball is telling everyone in Kyushu to help those who are suffering from earthquakes, heavy rains, etc. with the intention of continuing their activities even after the director retires. I hope I can help in some way. I have been indebted to some people here, so I hope to reward those thoughts. “
