Matt Williams’ Return as Third Base Coach Marks a Homecoming for Giants and Their Fans

According to source, Matt Williams, a former star of the San Francisco Giants, is making a return to the team as the third base coach on new manager Bob Melvin’s staff. Williams, who had a distinguished career in the majors, spent the first 10 of his 17 seasons with the Giants as an infielder, earning multiple All-Star selections, Gold Gloves and Silver Slugger awards.

He also had a successful stint as the third base coach of the Washington Nationals earning NL Manager of the Year honors. Bob Melvin, the new Giants manager, expressed his enthusiasm for bringing Williams back to the team, emphasizing Williams’ value as both a third base coach and a beloved figure among the Giants’ fans and players.

Melvin took over as manager after the team missed the playoffs for two consecutive seasons. Despite battling colon cancer and undergoing surgery earlier in the year, the 57-year-old Williams rejoined the coaching staff of the Padres in April as the third base coach.
