Mr. Kokubo will return to the Hawks for the first time in 9 years. What is expected as a head coach is the training of outfielders and the transmission of “hawksism”. When Softbank became a permanent body, it was Mr. Kokubo and other former top players who laid the groundwork as the main players. The Hawks tradition is not just the amount of practice that beats other teams, but also the attitude of everyone who works in baseball, like always running.

Raising the bar for outfield players, which has been a problem for many years. This season, Ryoya Kurihara grew as an outfielder and first baseman and gained consistency, but 37-year-old Nobuhiro Matsuda and other veteran mid-level players and canyons haven’t grown. Mr. Kokubo said, “I have not seen the match between the 2nd Army, but I cannot get stronger unless there is a player who pushes me in the presence of a big star named Matsuda.” I’m looking forward to it, “he said, citing the name of a canon candidate who has overwhelming power.

Mr. Kokubo describes the current Hawks as “strong enough to surprise other teams.” However, what we are looking for is not just “strength”. “It’s natural to be strong. You have to be strong. Hawks has become a leader in the world of the ball and a team that shoots the ball. It would be nice if the organization had the main conscience of shooting as a model.” The main force should not be a “difficult player”. The main force must be a model, “he said, seeking the attitude that the main force and the veteran should be.

Upon taking office, Mr. Kokubo said: “I have to see how the kids are practicing now. I don’t know the absolute number of swings from the outside. I’m looking forward to the camp in February. I think so.” Mr. Kokubo was proud of the overwhelming amount of practice during his active career. I will firmly determine how much young people are practicing now.

“The pitchers will be managed by the coach and the coach. Mikasa GM, as the director says, raises the level of the fielders as a whole. Kurihara came out, but the hit rate is still low, and the second year and more will be important. I think it is important to develop cleanings alongside this, “said Mr. Kokubo. Raise the level of the fielders. The legend of the hawks has returned as the leader to make the hawks a more victorious corps.
