The '''2011 Nippon Professional Baseball season''' is the 62nd season since the NPB was reorganized in [[1950 Nippon Professional Baseball season|1950]]. The season was delayed by the [[Tohoku earthquake]]. The [[Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles]], based in northern Japan, and coached by [[Senichi Hoshino]], were particularly affected by the quake, as the [[Miyagi Baseball Stadium]] was badly damaged. {{citation needed|date=September 2015}}

Because of energy concerns following the earthquake, NPB also imposed restrictions on games during the regular season. A three-hour-thirty-minute rule was imposed. If a game went past the 3:30 mark, regardless of inning, the inning in question would be the last inning. A game would be called should any blackout occur during the game. The 3:30 clock starts at the first pitch of the game and continues in case of any delay.

NPB seasons

The 2011 Nippon Professional Baseball season is the 62nd season since the NPB was reorganized in 1950. The season was delayed by the Tohoku earthquake. The Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles, based in northern Japan, and coached by Senichi Hoshino, were particularly affected by the quake, as the Miyagi Baseball Stadium was badly damaged. [citation needed]

Because of energy concerns following the earthquake, NPB also imposed restrictions on games during the regular season. A three-hour-thirty-minute rule was imposed. If a game went past the 3:30 mark, regardless of inning, the inning in question would be the last inning. A game would be called should any blackout occur during the game. The 3:30 clock starts at the first pitch of the game and continues in case of any delay.

[1]

At the season's end, the Yokohama BayStars was renamed as Yokohama DeNA BayStars as the owner changes.
