16 Games Across KBO, NPB and MLB
KBO and NPB start in the evening KST; all nine MLB games are played on September 17 local time.
Three things to watch
- KBO has only two games: six of the ten clubs are off, so the table moves on these two results alone.
- NPB plays five, all at 18:00 JST. Chiba Lotte hand a first-team debut start to 2007-born rookie Genki Ishigaki, who has no first-team record yet.
- All nine MLB games are on. Sonny Gray (Red Sox) owns the lowest ERA on the slate at 2.76.

MLB analysis (English)Sources: schedules, probable starters and venues come from the MLB Stats API (statsapi.mlb.com) schedule endpoint; standings, team hitting and pitching splits and individual player lines come from the standings, teams/stats and stats endpoints of the same API, all queried directly on September 17, 2026. Park run index is calculated here as a venue’s runs per game divided by the league average of 8.98 runs per game across 2,279 completed regular-season games (venues with fewer than 20 games are omitted). Probable starters and lineups can change up to first pitch. KBO figures come from Daum Sports league and team record pages (the KBO official site blocks crawling), cross-checked against the reader-supplied KBO record-room head-to-head table; NPB figures come from npb.jp official standings, team stats and individual pitching pages. Both were checked on September 17, 2026 KST. KBO starters are listed by ERA only here because romanised spellings for some names are not officially published; the Korean edition carries the full names. A starter with no first-team record is marked as such rather than given a number.
