Salary Arbitration

ZS Sports has not just won arbitration hearings—we have negotiated record-breaking arbitration settlements. Our results speak for themselves.

Over the last decade, in the 9 cases presented by ZS Sports, we have a .667 winning percentage , which we believe is significantly higher than all other player cases over the same period . We also negotiated the second largest arbitration contract of all time for a starting pitcher—$17.5 Million in 2020 .

As an accomplished and experienced leader in MLB salary arbitration, we are one of a small number of groups recommended to other agencies by the MLBPA to consult on, negotiate, prepare, and present salary arbitration cases.

In 2021, MLB players signed contracts worth over $650 million through the arbitration process. As Clubs spend less in free agency and pay less to older players, salary arbitration has become the player’s path to financial security.
