This season's draft was held for the first time in four years with spectators in attendance. However, previously, free spectators were recruited through a lottery, but from now on, spectators will be recruited for a fee. [2]
Only the first round picks will be done by bid lottery. from 2019, the Professional Baseball Executive Committee has decided that the Central League and the Pacific League will be given the second round of waiver priority alternately every other year, and in 2023 Central League received the waiver priority. [3] From the third round the order was reversed continuing in the same fashion until all picks were exhausted. [4] It ends when all teams are "selected" or when the total number of selected players reaches 120. Also, if the number of players has not reached 120, we will continue to hold a "developmental squad player selection meeting" with the participation of the desired team. [4]
