FAQ
What is the minimum to qualify in the LMP? Players need 30 plate appearances for hitters and 9 innings for pitchers. With 11 games played out of 68 in the regular season, these minimums grow as the season progresses.
Why don’t some Big Leaguers have home runs? It’s winter league play with limited appearances. Numbers are still too small for significant totals; averages and OPS are more reliable at this stage.
Where are the Big League pitchers? As of October 27, no MLB pitchers are registered in the LMP. They may arrive as the winter season advances.
