NPB Qualifying PA and Innings: Pacific League Progress Board (2026)

Pacific League

Required PA 360
Required IP 116

As of the league-leading 116 games played

These boards track progress toward the qualifying plate-appearance line (batters) and the qualifying innings line (pitchers) in the Pacific League. Each line is derived from the player's team games played, so it moves daily and differs between clubs even within the league. Because the average and ERA rankings and titles are contested league by league, the boards are split by league as well. The definitions and a 12-team threshold overview live on the overview page.

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.

Thresholds move club by club: reading the six Pacific 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 Pacific 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.

Frequently asked questions

What are the current qualifying PA and innings in the Pacific League?

They change daily: team games x 3.1 (rounded) for plate appearances and x 1.0 for innings. The headline figures at the top of this page show the line of the club with the most games played in the league as of the data date.

Which players appear on the Pacific League boards?

Players who have reached the line and players near it. A player at the season-end line carries the "Secured" badge, a player at his team's current line carries "Reached", and the rest show how many plate appearances or innings remain. See the overview page for the definitions and how the thresholds are computed.
