He returned to the top of the salary list for the first time in four years, and B-Class for the second consecutive year
According to the 2023 annual salary survey released by the Japan Professional Baseball Players Association on April 24, the average annual salary of 714 registered players (excluding foreign players) in both the Central League and the Pacific League is 44.69 million yen (about 410 million won). It is about three times more than the average annual salary of 146.48 million won for KBO League players.
There was something that stood out. The Yomiuri Giants have returned to the top of the average annual salary for the first time in four years. It recorded 68.07 million yen (about 675 million won), bringing down Softbank, which had been the "top" for three consecutive years.
Softbank, the "big hand" that has recruited the best players through aggressive investment, has decreased from 7002 million yen in 2022 to 67.63 million yen.
Yomiuri was nearly three times more than the Nippon Ham Fighters (23.69 million yen), which ranked last among the 12 teams.
The 2022 Japan Series winner Orix Buffaloes was 34.85 million yen, and the 2021 Japan Series winner and last year's runner-up Yakult Swallows was 47.97 million yen.
Salary does not lead to grades as it is. Just like last year, so is this year.
As of the 21st, 53 wins, 1 draw, 54 losses, and a winning rate of 4.95%. Yomiuri lost two consecutive games to Hiroshima Carp from the 19th to the 20th, collapsing its 50% winning rate. He is in fourth place in the Central League, 1.5 games behind the third-place Yokohama BayStars. 12.5 games behind No. 1 Hanshin Tigers and 5.5 games behind No. 2 Hiroshima
Orix, which is half of the Yomiuri average annual salary, is racing toward its third consecutive Pacific League title. He has 63 wins, 3 draws and 40 losses, and a 612 winning rate.
There are 35 games left. At this rate, it is difficult to avoid the B-class (4th to 6th out of 6 teams) for 2 consecutive years and the winning rate of 40% for 3 consecutive years. Last season, he recorded 68 wins, 3 draws, 72 losses, and .481. He failed to advance to the climax series, finishing fourth, half a game behind Hanshin.
If Hayato Sakamoto (35), Yoshihiro Maru (34), and Sho Nakata (34), the main hitters and ultra-high-paying players, fail to cheer up for the rest of the season, it will be difficult to rebound.
All three players have a history of being out of power due to injuries. fall short of the prescribed at-bats. At the age of mid-30s, his presence has decreased a lot, perhaps due to the effects of injury.
Sakamoto, who represented Yomiuri for a long time, had a batting average of .286 (82 hits in 287 at-bats), 14 home runs, 38 RBIs, and a batting average of .239 in 83 games. After suffering from a severe slump at the beginning of the season, he slowly raised his pace. Even if it's better than last year, when it was the worst since becoming the main player, it's below the ransom
Sakamoto went 0-for-5 in a three-game series against Hiroshima last weekend. He was a pinch hitter from the 19th to the 20th and struck out at both at-bats.
Sakamoto ranks third overall in the Japanese professional baseball league this season, following Yoshinobu Yamamoto (Orix, 650 million yen) and Yuto Yanagita (Softbank, 620 million yen). It is the same salary as Murakami Munetaka (Yakult), a "monster."
Maru recorded .236 (67 hits in 284 at-bats)-11 home runs-29 RBIs in 87 games, and Nakata .264 (64 hits in 242 at-bats)-13 home runs-31 RBIs in 82 games. Last year, Maru hit 27 home runs-65 RBIs and Nakata hit 24 home runs-68 RBIs.
Maru ranks 11th in annual salary this year and Nakata is tied for 13th. Nakata renewed his contract for an amount that increased by 150 million yen from last season.
A player compared to them is Akihiro Yuto (21), a third-year high school graduate. He played in one game in his first year as a professional in 2021
The promising player who hit it took off as the main hitter in his third year. He has played in 90 games and is recording .288 (92 hits in 319 at-bats)-10 home runs and 37 RBIs. His annual salary is 6.39 million yen this year 파워볼사이트
