Tetsuji Ito, Development Bank of Japan, "Major League Baseball Team Management and Their Contribution to Regional Economy — with Comparison and Suggestions to Japanese Professional Baseball"
The average annual salary of an MLB player has more than quadrupled since 1995 reaching the current high of over $4 million. Since 1995, the highest annual salary went from $10 million to now well over $30 million and is expected to continue to rise. This has been made possible by the growth of the MLB's market size itself - currently at $100 billion which is more than seven times higher than the 1995 levels. However, the average attendance per MLB game is decreasing and the average age of the MLB fan is increasing which could be a problem. On the other hand, the Japanese professional baseball market has grown by only 1.5 times over the same period. In his research, Ito analyzes MLB's growth factors and studies their contribution to the regional economy, as well as their implications for the Japanese professional baseball market and regional economy.
