After the second round, waver selections were made in order from the lowest-ranked team of the 2011 season in both the Central League and Pacific League, the third round was reversed and selections were made from the top team, and the fourth round was reversed again, alternating with selections from the lowest-ranked team until all teams had finished selecting players.{{cite web|url=https://draft.npb.jp/draft/2010/schedule.html|title=2010 Professional Baseball Draft Meeting supported by TOSHIBA 選択手順|language=ja-JP|website=NPB.jp|accessdate=November 25, 2022}}

Since the {{npby|2005}} season, the winner of the NPB All-Star Game has determined whether the Central League or the Pacific League gets waiver preference after the second round. In the 2010 All-Star Game, the Central League and Pacific League had a 1-1-1 tie, but regulations gave the Central League waiver priority over the Pacific League.{{cite news|url=https://www.sponichi.co.jp/baseball/news/2010/07/25/kiji/K20100725Z00002020.html|title=Sports Nippon baseball news ドラフト指名セ・リーグが優先権獲得|language=ja-JP|newspaper=Sports Nippon|date=July 25, 2010|accessdate=November 25, 2022}}

Attention was focused on candidates such as Tatsuya Oishi, Yuki Saito, Hirokazu Sawamura, and other college-age right-handed pitchers.{{cite news|url=https://www.nikkei.com/article/DGXZZO16714400Q0A021C1000000/|title=The Nikkei baseball news 斎藤ら早大3本柱に中大・沢村…ドラフト注目選手の横顔|language=ja-JP|newspaper=The Nikkei|date=October 21, 2010|accessdate=November 25, 2022}} Under the circumstances, the Yomiuri Giants publicly announced that they would pick Sawamura in the first round, and Sawamura also expressed his refusal to negotiate if he was picked by a team other than the Giants. As a result, other teams backed away from Sawamura, and the Giants picked him alone. The Giants' approach was criticized.{{cite news|url=https://www.sponichi.co.jp/baseball/news/2010/10/29/kiji/K20101029Z00002940.html|title=Sports Nippon baseball news 巨人・沢村再び 単独1位指名に大粒の涙|language=ja-JP|newspaper=Sports Nippon|date=October 29, 2010|accessdate=November 25, 2022}}{{cite web|url=https://sportiva.shueisha.co.jp/clm/baseball/npb/2020/09/08/___split_166/index_3.php|title=Web Sportiva Love Sports column 入団拒否、浪人生活、猛バッシング… 巨人愛を貫いた男たちの波乱万丈|language=ja-JP|publisher=Web Sportiva Love Sports by Shueisha|date=September 8, 2020|accessdate=November 25, 2022}}
