On the 11th, the Orix Buffaloes announced the departure of roving coordinator Katsumi Mizumoto, pitcher coach Masafumi Hirai, pitcher coach Rui Makino, and outfield defense and base running coach Shintaro Yoshioka due to the expiration of their contracts.

Coach Mizumoto, who joined from Hiroshima in 2021, contributed to three consecutive league championships as head coach under former manager Nakajima. In this, his sixth year with the team, he has been enthusiastically instructing both the first and second teams. Pitcher coaches Hirai and Makino have primarily devoted themselves to developing young pitchers on the farm team. Coach Yoshida was mainly in charge of instructing outfielders on the farm team.

On the 4th, the resignations of head coach Toshio Haru and batting coach Keizo Kawashima were also announced. The team finished in 4th place with 11 games under .500, falling into the B-class for the first time in two years. In the next season, which will be Director Kishida's third year in office, the team will aim for a comeback under a new structure.
