On the 20th, Orix Buffaloes held a seminar for rookie players at their team facility in Maishima, Osaka, to teach them the importance of fan service. This was the team's first attempt at this event, and the purpose was to deepen understanding of the significance of fan service and the importance of building relationships with fans. First-round draft pitcher Atsuya Fujikawa (18) from Nobeoka Gakuen High School said, "I want to play and provide fan service in a way that makes the people who come to watch me go home thinking, 'That was great.'"

The team has expanded its fan base with unique and original projects, such as "Orihime Day" targeted at female fans. The players have also been proactive in cooperating, and the team has become established as a popular team. He also explained that fans spend their precious time and money to visit the stadium on this day. Fujikawa, representing the rookies, also tried out signing an autograph. He has also visited the training camp, and it seemed that the training on this day was meaningful. "I think players who sign autographs are kind, and friendly players are popular. I want to keep that in mind," he said, nodding.
