  • Detrending Career Statistics in Professional Baseball: Accounting
    Methods for detrending success metrics to account for inflationary and deflationary factors Alexander M. Petersen∗,1 Orion Penner,2 and H. Eugene Stanley1 1Center for Polymer Studies and Department of Physics, Boston University, Boston, Massachusetts 02215, USA 2Complexity Science Group, Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta T2N 1N4, Canada (Dated: March 17, 2011) There is a long standing debate over how to objectively compare the career achievements of professional athletes from different historical eras. Developing an objective approach will be of particular importance over the next decade as Major League Baseball (MLB) players from the “steroids era” become eligible for Hall of Fame induction. Some experts are calling for asterisks (*) to be placed next to the career statistics of athletes found guilty of using performance enhancing drugs (PED). Here we address this issue, as well as the general problem of comparing statistics from distinct eras, by detrending the seasonal statistics of professional baseball players. We detrend player statistics by normalizing achievements to seasonal averages, which accounts for changes in relative player ability resulting from both exogenous and endogenous factors, such as talent dilution from expansion, equipment and training improvements, as well as PED. In this paper we compare the probability density function (pdf) of detrended career statistics to the pdf of raw career statistics for five statistical categories — hits (H), home runs (HR), runs batted in (RBI), wins (W) and strikeouts (K) — over the 90-year period 1920-2009. We find that the functional form of these pdfs are stationary under detrending. This stationarity implies that the statistical regularity observed in the right-skewed distributions for longevity and success in professional baseball arises from both the wide range of intrinsic talent among athletes and the underlying nature of competition.
