  • Weekly Notes 072817
    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).

  • Padres Press Clips Monday, April 2, 2018
    Padres Press Clips Monday, April 2, 2018 Article Source Author Page Padres trying to build wins, one at-bat at a time SD Union Tribune Acee 2 Fernando Tatis Jr, Cal Quantrill return to Missions SD Union Tribune Sanders 5 Gore, Arias highlight TinCaps' roster SD Union Tribune Sanders 7 Hosmer's defensive skills on display early for SD MLB.com Cassavell 9 Mitchell to make Padres debut against Rockies Fox Stats 12 Bionic Girl Throws Out First Pitch at Padres Game NBC 7 Nguyen 14 1 Padres trying to build wins, one at-bat at a time Kevin Acee If there is improvement in the Padres offense this season — and there almost has to be — it might come from Wil Myers being more consistent and Eric Hosmer just being here. But if real development is what they actually achieve, something that is sustainable on an organizational level, it will be done with discipline, patience and stubbornness. At its base level, improvement will be about getting on base. It is too early to draw any conclusions about whether new hitting coach Matt Stairs’ positivity and philosophy of perseverance will make a difference. The Padres have played one series. Three games. That’s one-54th of the season. That’s a sample size about as minuscule as the team’s collective on-base percentage last season. (Or any of the past four seasons.) Statistics such as average or OBP are not distinct indicators at this early juncture. Certainly, the Padres are winless in large part because they have been punchless for stretches in their three games.

Golden, Colorado Date Signed: Lindsay S. Parr Signed: Dr. William C. Navidi Thesis Advisor Golden, Colorado Date Signed: Dr. Willy A. Hereman Professor and Head Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics ii ABSTRACT The stolen base is an integral part of the game of baseball. As it is frequent that a player is in a situation where he could attempt to steal a base, it is important to determine when he should try to steal in order to obtain more wins per season for his team. I used a sample of games during the 2012 and 2013 Major League Baseball seasons to see how often players stole in given scenarios based on number of outs, pickoff attempts, runs until the end of the inning, left or right-handed batter/pitcher, run differential, and inning. New stolen base strategies were created using the percentage of opportunities attempted and the percentage of successful attempts for each scenario in the sample, a formula introduced by Bill James for batter/pitcher match-up, and run expectancy. After writing a program in R to simulate baseball games with the ability to change the stolen base strategy, I compared new strategies to the current strategy used to see if they would increase each Major League Baseball team’s average number of wins per season. I found that when using a strategy where a team steals 80% of the time it increases its run expectancy and 20% of the time that it does not, the average number of wins per season increases for a vast majority of teams over using the current strategy.

In fact, as of the 2002 season, over one quarter of the players in Major League Baseball ("MLB") were born outside of the United States.2 Latin American ballplayers, in particular, have long contributed to baseball's deep and rich history, and today occupy a substantial portion of MLB rosters.' Major League Baseball recently recognized this long standing contribution by naming a Latin American Legends team.4 In announcing the Legends team, MLB *Jeff Storms is an associate at the Minneapolis law firm of Flynn, Gaskins & Bennett LLP; J.D., University of St.
