In the process, subtle discord was detected. Okada, who won the 1985 Japan Series, led Hanshin to the top for the first time in 38 years as a leader in 2023. Last year, he finished second in the Central League. Unfortunately, they competed for the championship, although it was unfortunate that they lost the first place to the Yomiuri Giants. With this grade, it was natural to renew the contract, but it failed. Hanshin, which celebrated its 90th anniversary, changed the team's atmosphere and set its direction for a fresh start. Okada was the oldest coach for the past two years.
Fujikawa is indirectly related to Samsung Lions closer Oh Seung-hwan. When Fujikawa left for the Major League, Hanshin recruited Oh Seung-hwan to fill the vacancy. Fujikawa, who failed in the Major League, stayed in the Japanese Independent League for a while, returned to Hanshin and retired. Before taking over as the head coach, he worked as an assistant to the owner of Hanshin.
A former star who leads the most popular team. The spotlight is pouring in. The image is also very good. Every move is more than a star player throughout the Okinawa spring camp. Articles are pouring out even before the season opens.
However, a Japanese media outlet published an article on Fujikawa's strict player management on the 26th. It highlighted the negative side rather than the positive side. He even used the expression that it caused confusion in the scene.
The media reported that Fujikawa banned players under the age of 24 and players staying at the club's single lodging from going out at night. Including the day before the holiday when there is no training. According to the media, only a five-minute walk from the club's lodging was allowed to go out to convenience stores. In addition, Fujikawa is the center of the team's activities to quit smoking.
The atmosphere is quite different from the previous coach Okada. Coach Okada is said to have basically not touched the player's personal life. The vast majority of professional baseball players are adults.

If there are restrictions on behavior, complaints will inevitably arise. It is said that young players are complaining about "Is this a prison?"
Fujikawa's intention is clear. This is to prevent unnecessary situations from occurring during the camp and to focus on training. A month or so of camp is a very important opportunity for young players in their early 20s.
Hanshin was the only team among the 12 teams to reach an average of 40,000 spectators last year. Everywhere you go, you are full of enthusiastic fans. This atmosphere extends to the camp. As a result, young players may need some restrictions.
These days, however, players are thoroughly self-managing. Even if the club does not come forward directly, it seems to be managing well on its own. It is pointed out that Fujikawa's extreme player management came from an old-fashioned idea. Some argue that the stoic team atmosphere may be stressful for players.
It is difficult to confirm which is the correct answer, autonomy and certain regulations. However, it is clear that the recent atmosphere is on the side of autonomy. Of course, certain disciplines follow the basics.
There are a total of three coaches who were born in the 1980s this year. They are Fujikawa, Orix Buffaloes Kishida Mamoru (44), and Yomiuri Abe Shinnosuke (43). 기시다

Director Fujikawa has a heavy shoulder. It is an inevitable fate as a coach of a popular team that seeks to win the championship every year.
