  • "What Raw Statistics Have the Greatest Effect on Wrc+ in Major League Baseball in 2017?" Gavin D
    1 "What raw statistics have the greatest effect on wRC+ in Major League Baseball in 2017?" Gavin D. Sanford University of Minnesota Duluth Honors Capstone Project 2 Abstract Major League Baseball has different statistics for hitters, fielders, and pitchers. The game has followed the same rules for over a century and this has allowed for statistical comparison. As technology grows, so does the game of baseball as there is more areas of the game that people can monitor and track including pitch speed, spin rates, launch angle, exit velocity and directional break. The website QOPBaseball.com is a newer website that attempts to correctly track every pitches horizontal and vertical break and grade it based on these factors (Wilson, 2016). Fangraphs has statistics on the direction players hit the ball and what percentage of the time. The game of baseball is all about quantifying players and being able give a value to their contributions. Sabermetrics have given us the ability to do this in far more depth. Weighted Runs Created Plus (wRC+) is an offensive stat which is attempted to quantify a player’s total offensive value (wRC and wRC+, Fangraphs). It is Era and park adjusted, meaning that the park and year can be compared without altering the statistic further. In this paper, we look at what 2018 statistics have the greatest effect on an individual player’s wRC+. Keywords: Sabermetrics, Econometrics, Spin Rates, Baseball, Introduction Major League Baseball has been around for over a century has given awards out for almost 100 years. The way that these awards are given out is based on statistics accumulated over the season.

  • Combining Radar and Optical Sensor Data to Measure Player Value in Baseball
    sensors Article Combining Radar and Optical Sensor Data to Measure Player Value in Baseball Glenn Healey Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University of California, Irvine, CA 92617, USA; [email protected] Abstract: Evaluating a player’s talent level based on batted balls is one of the most important and difficult tasks facing baseball analysts. An array of sensors has been installed in Major League Baseball stadiums that capture seven terabytes of data during each game. These data increase interest among spectators, but also can be used to quantify the performances of players on the field. The weighted on base average cube model has been used to generate reliable estimates of batter performance using measured batted-ball parameters, but research has shown that running speed is also a determinant of batted-ball performance. In this work, we used machine learning methods to combine a three-dimensional batted-ball vector measured by Doppler radar with running speed measurements generated by stereoscopic optical sensors. We show that this process leads to an improved model for the batted-ball performances of players.

Introduction The expanded presence of sensor systems at sporting events has enhanced the enjoy- ment of fans and supported a number of new applications [1–4]. Measuring skill on batted balls is of fundamental importance in quantifying player value in baseball. Traditional measures for batted-ball skill have been based on outcomes, but these measures have a low Citation: Healey, G. Combining repeatability due to the dependence of outcomes on variables such as the defense, the ball- Radar and Optical Sensor Data to park dimensions, and the atmospheric conditions [5,6].
