About NPB

The Japanese professional baseball league, or NPB, is the highest level of baseball in Japan. The NPB was established in 1936 when Japanese baseball was organized into six leagues. These six leagues later merged into two leagues, the Central League and the Pacific League, which compete against each other to this day. Baseball was first introduced to Japan in 1872 by an American teacher, Horace Wilson. The game quickly gained popularity, and by the early 1900s, there were several professional teams in Japan. However, it wasn't until 1936 that the NPB was formally established.

Since its inception, the NPB has been home to some of the most talented players in the world. Japanese baseball legend Sadaharu Oh holds the record for most home runs in a career, with 868. Oh is just one of many NPB stars who have gone on to have successful careers in Major League Baseball (MLB). Japanese players have a long history of success in Major League Baseball in the United States, dating back to the early 20th century. Some of the most successful Japanese players in MLB include Ichiro Suzuki, Hideki Matsui, and Hideo Nomo.

The NPB is currently made up of 12 teams, divided equally between the Central League and the Pacific League. The regular season runs from late March/early April to early October. The top three teams from each league qualify for the playoffs, with the two league champions meeting in the Japan Series to determine the overall NPB champion. The NPB has a wide following in Japan, with many fans attending games and tuning in on television or radio. NPB games are also broadcast internationally, including in the United States, Canada, and Latin America. The league also attracts a fair amount of attention from international media and baseball fans.

Watching NPB live is one of the best ways to experience Japan's national pastime. Nothing can compare to the roar of the crowd, the thrill of the game-winning catch, and the nostalgia of having seen something that will remain in your heart for years. Not only that, but you immerse yourself in Japanese culture as you take in all around you while enjoying some true quality entertainment. Whether it's with friends or family, witnessing a professional baseball match at a stadium is an unforgettable experience.
