The professional baseball draft meeting began in Tokyo on the 11th after 5 pm.
Of the 12 teams, 7 teams announced the first place in advance last year, but this was only 2 teams, and each team continued to consider until just before.
We will update the information of the players nominated by each team from time to time.
[Draft meeting outline]
As with last year, the draft meeting will be held online with rooms prepared for each team to prevent infection with the new coronavirus.
"1st place" is nominated by each team at the same time, and if it is nominated alone, that team will get the right to negotiate, but if there are duplicates, the manager of each team will move to the room that will be the lottery venue and lottery Is to be drawn.
The teams that missed the lottery will be nominated again, and if they overlap again, they will be drawn again.
Repeat until the 1st place of each team is decided.
From "2nd place", the team ranking will be reversed as of the day before the draft meeting, "Weber order", and this will be nominated by the Central League.
The order of nomination of "2nd place" is DeNA → Nippon-Ham → Chunichi → Seibu → Hiroshima → Softbank → Giants → Rakuten → Hanshin → Lotte → Yakult → Orix.
