On the 10th, Takeshi Yamazaki, who boasts a total of 403 Home Run, joined Nippon-Ham Fighters' first-team camp in Nago as a temporary coach.
Manager Tsuyoshi Shinjo greeted him at the front of the stadium, bowed deeply, and shook his hand firmly. "Last year, we hit 129 home runs, which was more than Softbank Hawks. Since you came, I'll hit 172 (this year)," he said with a laugh.
The main purpose of the training was to train the right-handed power hitter candidates, and in addition to Mannami, Mizutani, Nomura, and others, Arizono also participated in the first-team camp on this day. Expectations are high for this to be an opportunity for the promotion of Edopolo as well.
