There was something that stood out. The Yomiuri Giants returned to the top of the average salary in 4 years. It recorded 68.07 million yen (approximately 675 million won), pulling down Softbank, which had risen to the top for three consecutive years.

Softbank, a “big hand” that has recruited top players through aggressive investments, decreased from 70.02 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.

Orix Buffaloes, the winner of the 2022 Japan Series, was 34.85 million yen, and the Yakult Swallows, the winner of the 2021 Japan Series and runner-up last year, was 47.97 million yen.

Salary does not directly translate into grades. Just like last year, this year too.

It is difficult to rebound if main hitters and super-high-paid players such as Hayato Sakamoto (35), Yoshihiro Maru (34), and Sho Nakata (34) do not exert themselves for the rest of the season.

All three players have a history of being out of power due to injuries. falls short of the rule of thumb. At the age of mid-thirties, his presence has declined a lot, perhaps because of the effects of injuries.

Sakamoto, who has represented Yomiuri for a long time, recorded a batting average of .239 in 83 games (82 hits in 287 at-bats), 14 homers, 38 RBIs and points. At the beginning of the season, he suffered from severe sluggishness, but gradually raised his pace. Even if it is better than last year, when it was the worst after establishing itself as the main player, it is a performance that is below his ransom.

Sakamoto was hitless in five at-bats in three straight matches against Hiroshima last weekend. He came on as a pinch hitter on the 19th and 20th, striking out in both at-bats.

Sakamoto is third in the overall annual salary of the Japanese professional baseball this season, following Yamamoto Yoshinobu (Orix, 650 million yen) and Yanagita Yuto (Softbank, 620 million yen). It is the same annual salary as the “monster” Murakami Munetaka (Yakult).
