  • Baseball's Worst Team Fred Worth Department of Mathematics and Computer Science
    Academic Forum 21 2003-04 Baseball's Worst Team Fred Worth Department of Mathematics and Computer Science Abstract - In this paper we will look at some of the worst teams in baseball history and try to decide which team was indeed the worst. We will look at some statistics that will compare the teams to the teams of their day to try to account for the differences in eras. Introduction Much discussion is heard regarding who the best player, hitter, pitcher, etc. in baseball history may have been. There is not typically a lot of discussion on who the worst in any of these categories may be. The 2003 season changed that a little bit due to the incredible futility displayed by the Detroit Tigers. In this paper, we will look at some of the worst teams in baseball history and see if, indeed, the Tigers qualify. Preliminary Criteria The first consideration needs to be what criteria we will use to make our determination of the worst team. Certainly the teams win-loss record and winning percentage should be considered. Since the word "worst" implies a comparison, we should also look a how far the teams finished out of first place and, to see how truly bad they were, how far they finished behind the next-to- last-place team. Candidates The following table lists the teams we will consider for the designation as the worst team in baseball history. There have been other teams that were very bad. Obviously the choice of candidates is fairly arbitrary, however, most would agree that these nine teams were rather bad.

  • Estimated Age Effects in Baseball
    ESTIMATED AGE EFFECTS IN BASEBALL By Ray C. Fair October 2005 Revised March 2007 COWLES FOUNDATION DISCUSSION PAPER NO. 1536 COWLES FOUNDATION FOR RESEARCH IN ECONOMICS YALE UNIVERSITY Box 208281 New Haven, Connecticut 06520-8281 http://cowles.econ.yale.edu/ Estimated Age Effects in Baseball Ray C. Fair¤ Revised March 2007 Abstract Age effects in baseball are estimated in this paper using a nonlinear xed- effects regression. The sample consists of all players who have played 10 or more full-time years in the major leagues between 1921 and 2004. Quadratic improvement is assumed up to a peak-performance age, which is estimated, and then quadratic decline after that, where the two quadratics need not be the same. Each player has his own constant term. The results show that aging effects are larger for pitchers than for batters and larger for baseball than for track and eld, running, and swimming events and for chess. There is some evidence that decline rates in baseball have decreased slightly in the more recent period, but they are still generally larger than those for the other events. There are 18 batters out of the sample of 441 whose performances in the second half of their careers noticeably exceed what the model predicts they should have been. All but 3 of these players played from 1990 on. The estimates from the xed-effects regressions can also be used to rank players. This ranking differs from the ranking using lifetime averages because it adjusts for the different ages at which players played. It is in effect an age-adjusted ranking.

  • Knuckle Curve Pitcher on Mound Former MLB Umpire Ron Luciano on Knucklers
    “That ____ Eaton Pitch” ‐uttered by numerous opponents over the years in regard to Eaton’s knuckle curveball, with various derogatory terms used to fill in the blank Numerous Reds’ pitchers, after tremendous high school careers that culminated in being drafted by MLB teams, had great success with their knuckle curves in college and the pros. Above: Kyle Ottoson starts in Game 3 of Super Regionals for Arizona State vs. Texas and leaves the game with the lead, and Shane Dyer’s first of many baseball cards (rising all the way to Triple‐A) show his knuckle curve grip. Coach Danley learned the knuckle curve from a pitcher* at Oklahoma State in the late 1980’s, researched it, taught it, and embraced it fully, and went on to win 20 of the Reds’ 21 spring and summer state titles with the victorious Reds’ pitcher throwing the knuckle curve. While the pitch breaks down sharply like a curve ball, it has no curve ball spin or potentially damaging elbow torque like a curve ball, and so the name of the pitch is misleading. With this in mind, maybe what the Reds’ opponents called the pitch was a much better description: “that ____ Eaton pitch.” The Reds were frankly honored by the term, but more honored by the swings and misses (and sometimes quite ugly ones at that) at the pitch. The knuckle curve and Eaton’s Championship Years are so intertwined it would be redundant to other material on EatonBaseball.com to focus an entire story on the pitch, however as one example of its dominance, the Reds in the 2008 State Championship found themselves clinging to a 3‐1 lead with the opponent loading up the bases with no outs, at which point the Reds threw 9 straight knuckle curves, producing 9 straight strikes, and ending the inning and effectively the game.
