Japan's Central League Climax Series is in the news after NPB published the match schedule for the 2026 JERA Climax Series. Japanese sports media are also debating postseason pitching plans, including whether DeNA will use specialised relief rotations against Yomiuri, citing Major League Baseball examples of closers spanning innings and starters deployed in relief as teams fine-tune their playoff bullpen strategies.
