How to read the boards
There are two boards - batters (qualifying plate appearances) and pitchers (qualifying innings) - listing players who have reached the line or sit near it, with their current total, the threshold, and how much remains. The vertical tick on each bar marks the player's team-specific line; a bar past the tick means the line has been reached.
Because each line is computed from the player's team games played, targets differ between players even on the same day. Stats split across teams by a mid-season transfer are not combined.
How the thresholds are calculated and why they move: the six Central League teams
Qualifying plate appearances are team games x 3.1 (rounded) and qualifying innings are team games x 1.0. Rainouts and scheduling spread the pace, so mid-season the lines are not aligned even among the six Central League clubs. Each player is judged against his own team's line, not a league-wide value.
The full definitions and a 12-team threshold overview are on the overview page, and the other league's boards are one link away below the boards.
