Frequently asked questions

Why can't this year's draftees and foreign players be selected?

This year's draftees are treated as exempt from player compensation (they cannot be taken even if left off the protected list), following how the system is described in news reports, though the FA rules do not state it. Foreign players are exempt under Article 82 of the NPB Agreement, while foreign nationals who came through Japanese schools or corporate teams count as Japanese; this page infers that from each player's career record, so an individual player may occasionally be misclassified.
