According to media reports, the team investigated the problem after receiving a theft damage report from a player on October 16 and found that Coach Hirao had stolen the personal belongings of two players.
Former coach Hirao from Saitama prefecture joined Hanshin in 1993 in second place in the draft.

After retiring from active duty in 2012, he became an employee of the team. His popularity was kept alive even after his retirement, as he often starred in the team support show “Lions Channel” on local television station “TV Saitama” and had a regular show on local radio station “NACK5” .
In 19 years, he was appointed as a hitting base coach and infielder / running back for the 2nd Army, and in 20 years he was a hitting coach in the 2nd Army.

At the time, Seibu fans on Twitter said, “I can’t believe Mr. Hirao …” and “I liked Mr. Charao …” They have been asked.

In April, Ryuyo Sato and pitcher Aiuchi went out to a golf course in Chiba prefecture, despite the team’s stipulation to “wait at home” and “prohibit unnecessary and less urgent outings” due to Corona’s influence. . .. In August, the team announced that the car Sato was driving was speeding on the Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway, and that the two players were “banned from participating in foreign games indefinitely.” On October 8, the Tokyo District Court sentenced Sato to prison with work in March and a two-year stay of execution.
As soon as the player’s misconduct happened one after another, the coach’s misconduct was discovered. Seibu fans on Twitter lamented: “I’m really sad that the team I’m supporting is telling me this kind of story,” “It’s a season that doesn’t happen,” and “I don’t mind fans of other teams fanning me. “. The voice is heard.
However, “I was disappointed that Mr. Hirao’s article was shocking, but I was excited to see the article about Mr. Utsumi and Matsuzaka’s contract for next season,” said Tetsuya Utsumi and Daisuke Matsuzaka’s policy to renew contract. Some people were satisfied with the news that was reported.
