Description

The purpose of this paper is to estimate both a performance model and a salary model of professional sports players by using a performance data in Major League Baseball (MLB), a performance data in Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) and an annual salary data in NPB on foreign players who transferred the register to Japan from 2001 to 2013. As a result, the performance in MLB that influenced the salary when foreign players transferred the register to NPB was the total number of Home Run in MLB and the fact that “he was a major leaguer,” while the performance in MLB that influenced the performance when they transferred the register to NPB was On-Base Percentage on the average in Minor League. In this paper, we showed that general managers in NPB were affected by information that gave a strong impression like the number of HR in MLB when they contracted to the foreign players. Therefore, we clarified that an availability heuristics was observed in the evaluation of professional sports players.
