Fifteen teams are available: The 12 professional teams in NPB, All-Star teams for both NPB leagues, plus Team Japan. Team Japan's roster and ratings are based on the 2023 World Baseball Classic, though Lars Nootbaar is not included.

Initial rosters on release reflect the team composition towards the end of the 2024 regular season. A 2025 roster update is planned, and will be separately selected prior to the main menu if this is handled like previous Konami baseball game roster updates. Each NPB team has a 29-player primary roster, with a varying number of farm team (ni-gun) players.
 
Each current NPB manager and coach can be unlocked to include on rosters if desired, with their appearance based on 2024 but ratings based on their peak playing season.
 
Thirteen legendary NPB players and eleven former NPB players currently in MLB are available to unlock. MLB player ratings are generally based on their last year in NPB. Legend player ratings are based on a certain peak year of their career. Two versions are available of Ichiro and Shohei Ohtani to reflect different eras in their careers.
 
YouTuber k4sen is also unlockable, including his 3D-scanned likeness and motion-captured animations. [https://youtu.be/Kq-Q4kxHPvQ?si=txrTircFyKHzvp2b|The video of his visit to Konami to capture these details is here].
 
The 2025 roster update launched on April 21st, updating NPB rosters to their status as of January 27th, 2025.  <gallery perrow="9" mode="packed" caption="Best players by position on standard NPB team rosters">
