The 2023 Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) Draft was held on October 26, 2023, for the 59th time at the Grand Prince Hotel Takanawa to assign amateur baseball players to the NPB.[1] It was arranged with the special cooperation of Taisho Pharmaceutical with official naming rights. The draft was officially called "The Professional Baseball Draft Meeting supported by Lipovitan D ".[1] It has been sponsored by Taisho Pharmaceutical for the 11th consecutive year since 2013.[1]

This season's draft was held for the first time in four years with spectators in attendance. However, previously, free spectators were recruited through a lottery, but from now on, spectators will be recruited for a fee.[2]


Summary

[edit]

Only the first round picks will be done by bid lottery. from 2019, the Professional Baseball Executive Committee has decided that the Central League and the Pacific League will be given the second round of waiver priority alternately every other year, and in 2023 Central League received the waiver priority.[3] And since it was held in the middle of the regular season, the second round of Waiver priority was decided according to the ranking as of October 10, the day before.[4] From the third round the order was reversed continuing in the same fashion until all picks were exhausted.[4] It ends when all teams are "selected" or when the total number of selected players reaches 120. Also, if the number of players has not reached 120, we will continue to hold a "developmental squad player selection meeting" with the participation of the desired team.[4]

Outcome

[edit]
Kodai Senga with the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks

The developmental player system, which began in the 2005 season, has been successful in producing major players for each team. (e.g. Yoshiki Sunada, Yuji Nishino) The Yomiuri Giants, who have been working on this system since early on, have signed more than 50 developmental players as their registered players under control as of the 2022 season. The Fukuoka Softbank Hawks have also signed 40 developmental players as their registered players under control, and have produced players like Kodai Senga and Takuya Kai who have won league titles and awards and represented Japanese baseball on the national baseball team.[6] The Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters, which had been reluctant to acquire developmental players, drafted a player as a developmental player for the first time in the 2018 draft.[7] In the 2022 draft, 51 players will be selected as developmental players, the largest number in history, and the acquisition of developmental players is a growing trend.[8]
