The Nippon Professional Baseball Organization (NPBNPB) held the first-ever “Active Draft” privately on the 9th, and announced the acquired players for each of the 12 teams on the official website. Rakuten/Okoe, Hanshin/Yokawa, etc. were nominated and decided to start in the new world.

The first ever “active draft” was held from this season as a system aimed at activating the transfer of players who are not blessed with the opportunity to participate in the Nippon Professional Baseball Organization. The regulation submitted a list of two or more players from each team, from which at least one player (maximum two players) from each team was nominated and submitted to the Nippon Professional Baseball Organization. A second round was not carried out.
