It was arranged with the special cooperation of Toshiba with official naming rights. The draft was officially called "The Professional Baseball Draft Meeting supported by TOSHIBA ".It has been sponsored by Toshiba for the 2nd consecutive year since 2009.
Summary Only the first round picks will be done by bid lottery. After the second round, waver selections were made in order from the lowest-ranked team of the 2011 season in both the Central League and Pacific League, the third round was reversed and selections were made from the top team, and the fourth round was reversed again, alternating with selections from the lowest-ranked team until all teams had finished selecting players.
Since the season, the winner of the NPB All-Star Game has determined whether the Central League or the Pacific League gets waiver preference after the second round. In the 2010 All-Star Game, the Central League and Pacific League had a 1-1-1 tie, but regulations gave the Central League waiver priority over the Pacific League.
Attention was focused on candidates such as Tatsuya Oishi, Yuki Saito, Hirokazu Sawamura, and other college-age right-handed pitchers. Under the circumstances, the Yomiuri Giants publicly announced that they would pick Sawamura in the first round, and Sawamura also expressed his refusal to negotiate if he was picked by a team other than the Giants. As a result, other teams backed away from Sawamura, and the Giants picked him alone. The Giants' approach was criticized.
