The Pacific League's regular season ended on Oct. 6, finalizing the season's individual titles. Kurihara of SoftBank won the home run title with 40 and the RBI title with 118, his first two batting titles, according to Jiji Press, Sankei Shimbun and Nikkei. Jiji reported that Kurihara is in his 12th professional season and that it was his first batting title. [ 3 , 4 , 5 ]
Four SoftBank players won titles, Sankei and Nikkei reported, after the club took a third straight league championship. Kondo won the best on-base percentage title for a fifth time at .431, and Shuto took the stolen-base title for a fourth consecutive year and fifth time with 30 steals. Sugiyama tied with Machado of Orix and Yokoyama of Lotte for the most saves at 35, taking the saves title for a second straight year, Sankei and Nikkei reported. Nishi-Nippon Shimbun described the SoftBank group as four players winning titles in five categories. [ 1 , 4 , 5 ]
Reyes of Nippon Ham won the batting title with a .313 average. Nishikawa of Orix and Nishikawa of Lotte shared the most-hits title with 155 each. Kitayama of Nippon Ham and Espinoza of Orix split the most-wins title with 13 victories apiece, and Kitayama also had the best winning percentage at .813. [ 3 , 4 , 5 ]
Among pitchers, Taira of Seibu had the best ERA at 1.36, Shoji of Rakuten led with 171 strikeouts, and Suzuki of Lotte was the top reliever with 39 hold points, according to the reports. Jiji noted that the winning-percentage title requires at least 13 wins, and that the top-reliever award is based on hold points, calculated as holds plus relief wins. [ 3 ]
