The purpose of this paper is to find out the relationship between annual salary and performance of the Korean professional baseball batters. The annual salary of Korean batters as like other countries is determined by their ability at the play. Thirteen independent variables, batting average, number of attending games, times at bat, scores, number of hits, number of home runs, base hits, runs batted in, stolen bases, base on balls, hit by pitched ball, strikeouts, double play are used to measure their effects on dependent variable, annual salary of year 2000 by their 2000 year record and career record. I used regression analysis to test them. The fitness of good of the four models by F-test were statistically significant by 0.01 level. These independent variables by reading the coefficient of determination explain about 60 percent and 50 percent of total variances of the dependent variable on year 2000 model and career model, respectively. Batter`s annual salary in 2000 model is highly related with runs batted in, and it is also related with batting average and number of home runs in career model.
