2007 NPB Amateur Draft

The 2007 NPB draft was held on October 3 and November 19, 2007. It was the last year that the draft was split into High School Phase and College Phase. The Seibu Lions lost their right in the High School draft until the 4th round due to violating the league's rule to offer two high school players cash.
