NPB Draft Report Card by Club 2026

How many of the players selected at the draft became established in NPB, gathered by the club that made the pick. Roster clubs change with transfers, so the club listed at the draft is used.

Player names are shown in Japanese.

How to read this table

  • Established in NPB = reached 100 plate appearances (30 innings for pitchers) in total.
  • Groups with few players are shown as “—”.
  • Past seasons are counted for the players selected, whether or not they are on a roster now.
  • Players who did not sign are also counted in the number of picks.
  • ※ marks a draft year without five full seasons behind it. With fewer seasons, college and industrial-league picks tend to rate high, and high-school picks rate low until five seasons are in.

How to read the table and the figure

Picks is the number of players selected at the draft, as it stands. Developmental picks are collected in a separate table, and players who did not sign are counted too.

Established in NPB counts players who later reached 100 plate appearances or 30 innings in first-team official games.

The rate divides the players established in NPB by the number of picks. A draft year without five full seasons behind it carries a ※ next to the rate.
