The active player draft will be held on the 9th. Seiya Hosokawa, who was transferred from DeNA to Chunichi in the active player draft, has hit 20 Home Run for three consecutive years, Kotaro Otake, who was transferred from Softbank Hawks to Hanshin Tigers, has also established himself in the starting rotation, and in last year's active player draft, Eito Tanaka was transferred to The Giants and made a big breakthrough.

Looking at the performances of Hosokawa and Otake, both of whom were drafted in the first round, in the year before their transfers, Hosokawa only hit one Home Run in 18 games in 2022, his final year with DeNA, but he hit 11 Home Run, sixth in the Eastern League. Home Run also started two games in the first team in his final year with Softbank Hawks, but pitched in 14 games in the farm team with a record of 4 wins and 1 loss and ERA of 2.87.

Shun Mizutani, who was transferred from Softbank Hawks to Nippon-Ham in the second active player draft, recorded the highest batting average in the interleague games in his first season with the team last year, and this season he has made great strides in his new home with a career-high 12 Home Run and 41 RBI. In 2023, his final year with Softbank Hawks, he played in 83 games for the farm team, scoring 35 RBI, fourth on the team.

Tanaka Eito, who pitched in 62 games for The Giants this season, recording a career-high 2.13 ERA with 36 hold, pitched in three games with the first team last season for Nippon-Ham Fighters, with ERA of 11.25. However, in the farm team he pitched in 29 games with a record of 5 wins, 2 losses, 1 save, ERA of 2.35.

Looking at players who have made a breakthrough through the active player draft, we can see that although they have had few opportunities to play in the first team and have not performed particularly well in the farm team, they have still achieved some results.
