  • The Rules of Scoring
    THE RULES OF SCORING 2011 OFFICIAL BASEBALL RULES WITH CHANGES FROM LITTLE LEAGUE BASEBALL’S “WHAT’S THE SCORE” PUBLICATION INTRODUCTION These “Rules of Scoring” are for the use of those managers and coaches who want to score a Juvenile or Minor League game or wish to know how to correctly score a play or a time at bat during a Juvenile or Minor League game. These “Rules of Scoring” address the recording of individual and team actions, runs batted in, base hits and determining their value, stolen bases and caught stealing, sacrifices, put outs and assists, when to charge or not charge a fielder with an error, wild pitches and passed balls, bases on balls and strikeouts, earned runs, and the winning and losing pitcher. Unlike the Official Baseball Rules used by professional baseball and many amateur leagues, the Little League Playing Rules do not address The Rules of Scoring. However, the Little League Rules of Scoring are similar to the scoring rules used in professional baseball found in Rule 10 of the Official Baseball Rules. Consequently, Rule 10 of the Official Baseball Rules is used as the basis for these Rules of Scoring. However, there are differences (e.g., when to charge or not charge a fielder with an error, runs batted in, winning and losing pitcher). These differences are based on Little League Baseball’s “What’s the Score” booklet. Those additional rules and those modified rules from the “What’s the Score” booklet are in italics. The “What’s the Score” booklet assigns the Official Scorer certain duties under Little League Regulation VI concerning pitching limits which have not implemented by the IAB (see Juvenile League Rule 12.08.08).

Major League Baseball (MLB) is a league of different teams in different cities all across the United States, and those locations strongly influence the market of the team and thus the payroll. Year after year, a certain amount of teams, including the usual ones in big markets, choose to spend a great amount on payroll in hopes of improving their team and its player value output, but at times the statistics produced by these teams may not match the difference in payroll with other teams.

  • Scorekeeping
    Scorekeeping... Introduction Keeping score in baseball is an art. There are many ways to do it, some more complex than others. It all depends on what you want to get as an end result. If you are on one end of the spectrum and want to be able to produce all kinds of statistics from the scoring sheet, then you are a 'hard core' scorekeeper. If you are on the other end of the spectrum and your biggest desire is to ensure the lineup and score are correct, then you are a 'soft core' scorekeeper. This guide to scoring is intended to be somewhere in the middle. No matter which way you choose to go, enjoy it and have fun. Get a Scorecard The first and foremost necessity in scorekeeping is the scorecard. You can't keep score without one. A book of scorecards can be purchased at almost any sporting goods store. If you prefer, you may print a copy of our online scorecard. The Scorecard Now that you have a scorecard, let's examine it. Depending on the scorecard you have, there will be areas for different kinds of data, like game day information, batter performance, inning totals, and pitcher performance. All scorecards are not alike but most do contain 5 basic sections: The top area of the scorecard usually is reserved for information about the game. Who is playing, who is visitor, who Top Section is home, the umpires, date, time field, weather, scorer etc. Left Center Section The columns on the left side of the scorecard are usually reserved for recording the player lineup.

  • A Bayesian Variable Selection Approach to Major League
    A Bayesian Variable Selection Approach to Major League Baseball Hitting Metrics∗ Blakeley B. McShane, Alexander Braunstein, James Piette, and Shane T. Jensen Department of Statistics The Wharton School University of Pennsylvania Abstract Numerous statistics have been proposed for the measure of offensive ability in major league baseball. While some of these measures may offer moderate predictive power in certain situations, it is unclear which simple offensive metrics are the most reliable or consistent. We address this issue with a Bayesian hierarchical model for variable selection to capture which offensive metrics are most predictive within players across time. Our sophisticated methodology allows for full estimation of the posterior distri- butions for our parameters and automatically adjusts for multiple testing, providing a distinct advantage over alternative approaches. We implement our model on a set of 50 different offensive metrics and discuss our results in the context of comparison to other variable selection techniques. We find that 33/50 metrics demonstrate signal. However, these metrics are highly correlated with one another and related to traditional notions of performance (e.g., plate discipline, power, and ability to make contact).
