- Statistics current through the 2025 season
Notes
- a Games behind is determined by calculating the difference in wins plus the difference in losses divided by two.
- b Pacific League pitchers were not eligible to receive the Eiji Sawamura Award until 1989.[90]
- c From 1973 to 1982, the Pacific League employed a split season format. Each season was divided into two halves and had their own winner.[91] For sorting purposes, these seasons are sorted by the team's cumulative season performance unless the team won the PL playoff series and thus the league. In that case, the team is considered to be the first place winner of the league and is sorted as such.
- d The Pacific League did not report exact attendance figures until the 2005 season.[92]
- e The final stage of the Climax Series awards the regular season champion an automatic one-win advantage.[93]
- f Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Pacific League decided to modify the traditional Climax Series format and eliminate the first stage series to instead only play one modified final stage series.[94]
- g Nippon Professional Baseball shortened the 2020 season because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Games that were played had their fan attendance either entirely prohibited or significantly limited.[95] Attendance continued to be limited into the 2021 season.[96]
