  • Predicting Future MLB Players Using Scouting Reports
    Trouble with the Curve: Predicting Future MLB Players Using Scouting Reports Jacob Danovitch∗ Department of Computer Science Carleton University Ottawa, Canada [email protected] Date: October 11, 2019 Abstract In baseball, a scouting report profiles a player’s characteristics and traits, usually intended for use in player valuation. This work presents a first-of-its-kind dataset of almost 10,000 scouting reports for minor league, international, and draft prospects. Compiled from articles posted to MLB.com and Fangraphs.com, each report consists of a written description of the player, numerical grades for several skills, and unique IDs to reference their profiles on popular resources like MLB.com, FanGraphs, and Baseball-Reference. With this dataset, we employ several deep neural networks to predict if minor league players will make the MLB given their scouting report. We open-source this data to share with the community, and present a web application demonstrating language variations in the reports of successful and unsuccessful prospects. 1 Introduction In the 2012 film Trouble with the Curve, Clint Eastwood portrays a scout for the Atlanta Braves whose traditional methods lie at odds with new statistical analyses. The film shares a look into the divide between the two major schools of thought in professional sports - the ’eye test’, and ’advanced analytics.’ The former method relies on closely studying players and making evaluations based on expert knowledge, whereas the latter advocates for data-driven decision making and the use of statistics to project future value. The work presented in this paper argues that this divide presents a false dichotomy - that both the eye test and advanced analytics have a place in the evaluation of baseball players.

Kim Kardashian, who was in Atlanta filming a small role in Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor, dined there with Atlanta Real Housewife NeNe Leakes. "It caused a real commotion," Brett says. Arnold Schwarzenegger, True Blood's Joe Manganiello and low- profile couple John Mellencamp and Meg Ryan have also recently been recent customers.

One night, Cam Cam, Chris Rock and Charles Barkley all happened to be there at the same time—and, according to Brett, Barkley wanted to be the biggest star.

  • Trouble with the Curve
    LAMORINDA WEEKLY | Trouble with the Curve Published September 26th, 2012 Trouble with the Curve By Derek Zemrak Trouble with the movie! Trouble with the Curve is a baseball movie, and no one loves baseball movies more than I, but they are difficult to create for actors who are not baseball players and this problem is evident in Trouble with the Curve. Moneyball, Field of Dreams and Eight Men Out are successful baseball films. Trouble with the Curve has more problems than just a lack of players. The problems include the script, lack of character development, and direction. Robert Lorenz (Gran Torino, Letters from Iwo Jima, Million Dollar Baby), longtime producing partner of Clint Eastwood, directed this film, which proves that a great producer is not necessarily a great director. The cast is stacked with talent: Oscar winner and Hollywood legend Eastwood, three-time Oscar nominee Amy Adams (The Fighter, Doubt, Junebug), three-time Emmy winner Justin Timberlake (The Social Network), and Golden Globe and Emmy winner John Goodman (Rosanne). This is an impressive ensemble cast that does not click because the director was unable to pull them all together. A few scenes Amy Adams as Mickey and Clint Eastwood as Gus in with the older Eastwood were painful to watch. Warner Bros. Pictures' drama Trouble with the The movie focuses on aging baseball scout Gus Curve. (Eastwood), who is struggling to find the next big superstar. His eyes and health are failing, but he does not give up. Gus' estranged daughter, Mickey (Adams), comes to lend her support and love.
