  • Implicitly Defined Baseball Statistics
    Implicitly Defined Baseball Statistics December 9, 2012 Joe Scott 1 Introduction Major League Baseball uses statistics to determine awards every season. The batting champion is given to the player with the highest batting average. The Cy Young Award is given to the top pitcher which is determined by many different statistics including earned run average (ERA). Batting average and ERA have been used for many years and are major statistics in baseball. Neither batting average or ERA consider the skill of the opposing pitcher or batter. Thus, every pitcher and batter is considered to have the same skill level. We develop an implicitly definded statistic that determines the skill or value of a player. The value of a batter and the value of a pitcher is based on the skill of the oppposing pitcher and batter respectively. We use linear algebra to find eigenvector solutions to the eigenvalue problem, Aλ = λx, which generates each player's statistical value. 2 Idea Consider a baseball league in which there are Nb players who bat, represented by bi for 1 ≤ i ≤ Nb. We represent the number of pitchers in the league as pj, 1 ≤ j ≤ Np where Np is the number of pitchers. Nb is defined as the number players who record an at bat during a specific season and Np is the number of players who record a pitching appearance during a season. The total number of players in the league, Ntp, is represented by the inequality Ntb ≤ Nb + Np. This inequality considers players who both hit and pitch. Since in the National League pitchers hit as well as pitch we need to add the pitchers to the total number of batters and in interleague play (which is when American League teams face National League teams in the regular season) American League pitchers bat when the National League team is home.

  • A's News Clips, Sunday, June 12, 2011 Oakland A's Fall 3-2 To
    A’s News Clips, Sunday, June 12, 2011 Oakland A's fall 3-2 to Chicago White Sox By Joe Stiglich, Oakland Tribune CHICAGO -- The ball jumped off Coco Crisp's bat, and for a moment it appeared the A's might summon more comeback magic Saturday night. Instead, one slick-fielding outfielder robbed another, as Brent Lillibridge's leaping catch at the left-field wall in the eighth inning helped send the A's to a 3-2 loss to the Chicago White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field. The A's had one out and a runner on second when Crisp made a dramatic bid for career hit No. 1,000. Lillibridge timed his jump perfectly, reaching over the wall and snatching the ball back into play. "It's a game of inches -- literally," A's manager Bob Melvin said. But the A's also could point to other factors that sent them to their 11th loss in 12 games. Left-hander Gio Gonzalez (5-5) issued a career-high seven walks, and though they led to only three runs, it was another laborious night for a member of the Oakland rotation. "Obviously there are things I need to clean up on the mound," Gonzalez said. The A's committed three errors, including reliever Brad Ziegler's off-target throw to second base on a potential double-play comebacker that allowed the go-ahead run to score in the sixth. One night after scoring four runs in the ninth to win, the A's mustered just four hits, all off White Sox starter John Danks (2- 8), who went 72/3 innings.

    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES FRIDAY, JULY 28, 2017 BLACKMON WORKING TOWARD HISTORIC SEASON On Sunday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Coors Field, Colorado Rockies All-Star outfi elder Charlie Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and his 24th home run of the season. With the round-tripper, Blackmon recorded his 57th extra-base hit on the season, which include 20 doubles, 13 triples and his aforementioned 24 home runs. Pacing the Majors in triples, Blackmon trails only his teammate, All-Star Nolan Arenado for the most extra-base hits (60) in the Majors. Blackmon is looking to become the fi rst Major League player to log at least 20 doubles, 20 triples and 20 home runs in a single season since Curtis Granderson (38-23-23) and Jimmy Rollins (38-20-30) both accomplished the feat during the 2007 season. Since 1901, there have only been seven 20-20-20 players, including Granderson, Rollins, Hall of Famers George Brett (1979) and Willie Mays (1957), Jeff Heath (1941), Hall of Famer Jim Bottomley (1928) and Frank Schulte, who did so during his MVP-winning 1911 season. Charlie would become the fi rst Rockies player in franchise history to post such a season. If the season were to end today, Blackmon’s extra-base hit line (20-13-24) has only been replicated by 34 diff erent players in MLB history with Rollins’ 2007 season being the most recent. It is the fi rst stat line of its kind in Rockies franchise history. Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig is the only player in history to post such a line in four seasons (1927-28, 30-31).
