To celebrate the return of baseball today, I assembled the following charts highlighting some interesting franchise and player salary statistics.
Franchise Statistics
Franchise values range from $5 billion (New York Yankees) to $908 million (Miami Marlins).
League average franchise value is $1.8 billion.
The average MLB franchise generated $346 million in revenue last year.
The league average valuation multiple is 5.1x (EV / 2019 Revenue).
The Los Angeles Dodgers attracted more home game attendees than any other club - close to 4 million.
Each fan that attended a home game last year, contributed $816 on average to the home team’s franchise value (on a non-deduplicated basis).

Player Salary Statistics
The highest paid player in 2020 is Mike Trout of the Los Angeles Angels. Trout’s full season salary would be $37.7 million on a non-pro-rated basis (but still a bargain).
The Miami Marlins pay its highest paid player the least of all of the 30 ball clubs. The Marlins field Jonathan Villar for just over $8 million.
The top paid player’s salary represents 43% of total payroll, on average.
Chris Davis of the Baltimore Orioles, whose 2020 unadjusted salary would be $21 million, will receive 89% of his team’s total player payroll.
For each team across the league, the highest paid players played the following positions: Starting Pitcher (9), First Base (6), Outfielder (5), Third Base (4), Designated Hitter (3), Catcher (2), Relief Pitcher (1).

Hopefully, we will get through this 60-game 2020 season without any issues and get back to a full season schedule in 2021.
Play ball!
Hahn.
