They are one cohesive unit. There is not a guy on the team that doesn’t want his teammate to succeed.” While team unity is key, Walker knows that you still have to have talent. “We have depth everywhere,” he said. “We have guys that play multiple positions, 15 hitters and lots of depth at the pitcher position. And more than all that, we have players that don’t want to disappoint the team.” Because Walker is so excited about this season’s team, he found it difficult to find weaknesses. “Maybe that we have only one left-handed pitcher,” Walker said. “One weakness might be the unknown on what it takes to win the league. They will need to feel their way through to learn what it takes to win in the end.” There are 11 players from last season’s team along with Alex Hancock, who played for the Golden Eagles in 2006 and Trent Johnson, who played for CSI in 2007. Those 13 are joined with 12 freshmen. Four key players that return include 2008 second-team

  • Tony Robichaux 1961-2019
    IN MEMORIAM TONY ROBICHAUX 1961-2019 Tony Robichaux spent 25 seasons as the leader of the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns and took the baseball program to new heights. Robichaux coached 29 All-Americans, five Academic All-Americans, 90 All-Sun Belt players and 55 All-Louisiana players in his 25 years with the Cajuns. During that time, he coached six Sun Belt Pitchers of the Year, two Sun Belt Players of the Year, two Sun Belt Newcomers of the Year, three Sun Belt Freshmen of the Year, three All-Louisiana Pitchers of the Year, one All-Louisiana Player of the Year and five All-Louisiana Newcomers of the Year. Robichaux took Louisiana to its only College World Series appearance in 2000 and won over 1,000 career games. Yet, that’s not how Robichaux will be remembered. He will be remembered and honored as someone who left behind a legacy of servant leadership and compassion that extended beyond the baseball diamond and into the lives of the thousands of student- athletes and staff he impacted during his career. Coach Robe’s contributions to the University and his impact left on others will not be forgotten. 36 1 WELCOME INTERVIEW AVAILABILITY The Louisiana Athletic Communications Office Head coach Matt Deggs is available at his weekly appreciates your interest in Louisiana Baseball media presss conference and by appointment in and looks forward to assisting you during the the mornings.

Blakeley B. McShane, Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University Shane T. Jensen, University of Pennsylvania Recommended Citation: Piette, James; Braunstein, Alexander; McShane, Blakeley B.; and Jensen, Shane T. (2010) "A Point-Mass Mixture Random Effects Model for Pitching Metrics," Journal of Quantitative Analysis in Sports: Vol. 6: Iss. 3, Article 8. Available at: http://www.bepress.com/jqas/vol6/iss3/8 DOI: 10.2202/1559-0410.1237 ©2010 American Statistical Association. All rights reserved. A Point-Mass Mixture Random Effects Model for Pitching Metrics James Piette, Alexander Braunstein, Blakeley B. McShane, and Shane T. Jensen Abstract A plethora of statistics have been proposed to measure the effectiveness of pitchers in Major League Baseball. While many of these are quite traditional (e.g., ERA, wins), some have gained currency only recently (e.g., WHIP, K/BB). Some of these metrics may have predictive power, but it is unclear which are the most reliable or consistent. We address this question by constructing a Bayesian random effects model that incorporates a point mass mixture and fitting it to data on twenty metrics spanning approximately 2,500 players and 35 years. Our model identifies FIP, HR/ 9, ERA, and BB/9 as the highest signal metrics for starters and GB%, FB%, and K/9 as the highest signal metrics for relievers. In general, the metrics identified by our model are independent of team defense.

The NOCSAE® standard is aimed at reducing the risk of skull fractures. The standard has not been correlated with reducing the risk of concussions from such impacts. NOCSAE® standards require that a batting helmet withstand all test impacts at an established peak severity index (SI). Helmets also must survive all test protocols substantially intact and ready for use. NOCSAE® baseball batting helmet standards involve tests of baseballs fired from a cannon at 60 mph at a distance of 2 ft, which is roughly equivalent to an impact resulting from a pitch speed of 68 mph at a distance of 60 ft.
