The "Kannami Tsunami" Ken'ichi Okubo (3.1 WAR) was awarded $2.497mm. Guess the arbiters didn't want to round up. Okubo's latest big game was the Kernels 12th-inning Geoghegan win versus Louisville. He hit a walk-off, two-out, bases-loaded single off Alexi 'Wildchild' Laiho that drove in Manuel Gutiérrez. Pandemonium ensued at the sold-out Kum & Go Kourtyard; the game lasted five hours and five minutes. Okubo had three hits in the game.
Reserve catcher Dan Davidson was awarded $1.132mm. he had a 1.1 WAR in 200 plate appearances. That was up from 0 WAR in 2063 and 0.5 the season before that. Davidson (.266-9-19) had two three-hit games in 2064.
Left-handed reliever Alonso González (2-0-2 2.36 in 30 appearances) received $1.078mm. He was part of the solid relief corps that was second in the Frick League in ERA (3.48). He throws a slider and a cutter, both rated 11 out 10. His 0.6 WAR was ninth among the team's hurlers.
The Kernels player salary cap stands at $90.2mm, which is seventh in the league, which is too high.
