He will be with the NC Dinos as the home run king for two years. The U.S. is also paying attention to Matt Davidson’s renewal.
“It is a two-year (1+1) contract with Davidson, and the terms and conditions of the contract are $1.5 million (guaranteed $1.2 million, option $300,000), and re-signed for $1.7 million (guaranteed $1.3 million, option $400,000) for 26 years. At the end of the 25-year-old season, the club has a team option to extend the contract,” NC announced on the 29th.
As the center hitter of the NC Dinosaurs this season, Davidson played in 131 games and recorded 46 home runs, 119 RBIs and a batting average of 0.306 with a slugging percentage of 0.633. He was the first homerun king in eight years for the NC Dinosaurs since Eric Thames.
In particular, he recorded 22 consecutive hits, showing consistency and explosive power in the team’s batting lineup, setting a new record for the most consecutive hits in NC teams and the record for the most consecutive games by foreign players in the KBO League.
To this performance, NC definitely treated him with a multi-year contract.
Then, Major League Trade Rumors (MLBTR) said, “Davidson’s overwhelming performance attracted NC’s attention and tied Davison to a two-year contract that helped maintain the team’s competitiveness. Last winter, Davison was guaranteed $700,000, but this year, Davison was guaranteed more than double the amount, and if he achieves next year’s option, he can earn more than $3 million during the contract period.”
He also predicted Davidson’s return to the U.S. MLBTR said, “Given Davidson’s age, it is unclear whether it would be advantageous to try to return to the Major League once his contract with NC is terminated, but if he hits like he did last year, he will be able to revive his career in the U.S. after setting an enormous record in the 스포츠토토 KBO league following in the footsteps of Eric Thames.”
