In 2012 there were 17 Porters on the rosters of college baseball programs. As this newsletter is issued, four more Porters from 2012 have decided to play at the next level. Let’s take a look at what went on for the former Porters during their 2012 seasons. Mike Hamilton (11’) (left), Tyler Willis (09’) and Colin Hart (10’) were all members of the 2012 NJCAA Div. III National Champion Joliet Junior College Wolves. All three were pitchers on Coach Wayne King’s staff. Congrats on a great season!! Also on the junior college level, Jory Koehler (09’) (right) completed his final year for the Kankakee Community College Cavaliers. He has already signed on to play at Robert Morris College next season. Connor Petschke (10’) finished up a great season and career with the South Suburban College Bulldogs and is expected to move on to finish his college career. Bob Wilmsen (11’) completed a great first season for the Moraine Valley C.C. Cyclones. At Washington University in St. Louis, former Porter Kyle Billig (09’) completed another outstan- ding season for the Bears which saw him win more awards and break more records. Kyle was chosen All-Region, led the UAA (University Athletic Conference) in runs scored with 59 which also put him 4th nationally in NCAA Div. 3 and set a school record.

Thank you. A Summer Wildfire: How the greatest debut in baseball history peaked and dwindled over the course of three months by Colin Thomas Reynolds, M.A. The University of Texas at Austin, 2011 SUPERVISORS: Tracy Dahlby & Bill Minutaglio The narrative itself is an ageless one, a fundamental Shakespearean tragedy in its progression. A young man is deemed invaluable and exalted by the public. The hero is cast into the spotlight and bestowed with insurmountable expectations. But the acclamations and pressures are burdensome and the invented savior fails to fulfill the prospects once imagined by the public. He is cast aside, disregarded as a symbol of failure or one deserving of pity. It’s the quintessential tragedy of a fallen hero. The protagonist of this report is Washington Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg, who enjoyed a phenomenal rookie season before it ended abruptly due to a severe elbow injury.

  • A's News Clips, Monday, September 19, 2011 Oakland A's Split
    A’s News Clips, Monday, September 19, 2011 Oakland A's split series with Detroit Tigers after 3-0 loss By Joe Stiglich, Oakland Tribune When Kurt Suzuki found himself in a nasty first-half slump, he tried hard to work his way out of it. Perhaps that was the problem. The A's catcher, a workaholic even when things go swimmingly, logs even more hours when the going gets rough. Often that digs a deeper hole. "I think I put too much work in," Suzuki conceded. "I was trying to figure stuff out. I could say it pretty much jumbled my brain up. It really got me away from doing what I do. You've just gotta hit the ball hard, hit the ball into the gaps." Suzuki has found his stride at the plate in recent weeks. But as will be the case with many A's hitters, his overall numbers won't be pretty when the season wraps. Suzuki is batting .241 after Sunday's 3-0 loss to the Detroit Tigers, and it's taken a turnaround for him just to get to that point. He was hitting .215 as late as July 2 but has batted .279 over his past 53 games. He's shown good power with 14 homers, one off his career high from 2009, but he's driven in just 42 runs. That's down from a team high-tying 71 RBIs last season and a career-best 88 in 2009. "All players who are around for a while, they're going to have good years, they'll have average years, and years that aren't so good," said A's manager Bob Melvin, himself a former catcher.

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.
