Free Agency?
When does a player qualify for free agency? How many games do they have to play? If they don't make it to ichi-gun, how long does it take?

A player qualifies for free agency after 9 years and 150 games days at ichi-gun (or the top team).
[Editor's Note: It's days registered at ichi-gun, not games. They play less games per year than that. This also allows a player to miss a small portion of the season and still count for a full year. Days registered in a given year beyond that are not counted. Furthermore, I think the number of days has decreased recently, but I don't have the figure handy.]

About
This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
