2026 NPB Lineup (batting only) - Combined

Data as of

An estimated lineup of nine players chosen from batting statistics that combine this season and the last ten games, with positions and a batting order. How well a player fields and how he runs the bases are not measured, so it differs from how clubs actually field their sides. No run figures are published.

Player names are shown in Japanese.

How to read this table

  • Positions are where each player has appeared most this season.
  • The ninth slot in the Central League lineup combines the batting of every pitcher in the league into one batter (designated hitter in the Pacific League and all-twelve lineups).

The estimated figures are worked out by this site and are not official announcements.

How this lineup is put together

A slot with no player who fits is shown as a dash. The ninth slot is a pitcher in the Central League lineup, so instead of one named pitcher it holds the batting records of every pitcher in the league combined into a single batter (no name is shown). In the Pacific League and all-twelve-club lineups it is the designated hitter.
