  • Rigidity of Microsphere Heaps
    ABSTRACT SIDLE, GLENN DANIEL. Using Multi-Class Machine Learning Methods to Predict Major League Baseball Pitches. (Under the direction of Hien Tran.) As the field of machine learning and its applications grow, there is a need to expand the ability to classify and predict beyond just being able to handle a binary problem. While the ability to predict a yes or no answer is still valuable, in a world of increasing complexity, machine learning methods are now employed in a multi-class problem setting more than ever. Major League Baseball provides a rich and detailed data set with its PITCHf/x system that tracks every baseball pitch thrown in every stadium in every game. Pitch prediction has been a topic of previous research that has mostly focused on the binary split between fastballs and other pitch types. We extend the binary problem to a multi-class one that involves up to seven unique pitch types. The work done with baseball pitches can be used as a template to expand a wide variety of other binary predictions into accommodating more than a simple two class approach. To accomplish the multi-class prediction, we examine multiple machine learning methods to find the most efficient and accurate algorithm. In this dissertation, we first explore the results given by each of three different methods: Linear Discriminant Analysis, Support Vector Machines, and bagged random forests of Classification Trees. Our feature set is created from both categorical and continuous data, with features that can be taken from the observation of a game used alongside synthetic features generated from historical data.

    Aug. 3-9 Numbers in parentheses indicate draft round. Arizona Diamondbacks Released: RHP Cristian Beltre Placed on 7-day DL: RHP Jason Urquidez, C Raywilly Gomez, C Zach Jones Reinstated from DL: RHP Kevin Mulvey, C Raywilly Gomez, 2B Matt Jensen, SS Dan Kaczrowski, OF Jeremia Gomez Atlanta Braves Signed: RHP Navery Moore (14), LHP Luis Merejo Released: RHP Matt Lewis Recalled: LHP Mike Minor Baltimore Orioles Signed: RHP Willie Eyre, OF John Ruettiger (8) Released: RHP Josh Rupe Recalled: RHP Jason Berken, RHP Chris Tillman Designated for assignment: RHP Brandon Erbe Optioned to Triple-A: LHP Mark Hendrickson Placed on 7-day DL: RHP Jose Diaz, C Adam Donachie, C Joel Polanco Reinstated from DL: LHP Matt Taylor, C Joel Polanco, 1B Rhyne Hughes Orioles released RHP Josh Rupe from Triple-A Norfolk. Rupe, 28, posted a 5.65 ERA and 1.54 WHIP in 14 1/3 major-league innings this season, and fared even worse at Norfolk, turning in a 7.07 ERA and 1.69 WHIP in 42 frames. Brandon Erbe's time with the Orioles may be nearing an end. The 23-year-old will be eligible for free agency if he's not added back to the 40-man roster between now and early November. Baltimore born and bred, Erbe signed out of third round of the ’05 draft and put Class A ball behind him by the end of the ’08 season. However, he's pitched just 165 innings in the past three seasons (including 4 2/3 this year), and he's coming off labrum surgery in ’10.

  • The Pennsylvania State University Schreyer Honors College
    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE PROGRAM OF LETTERS, ARTS, AND SCIENCES THE RE-TWEETS OF VICTORY, THE HASHTAGS OF DEFEAT SCOTT MCMURTRY SUMMER 2013 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in History with honors in Letters, Arts, and Sciences Reviewed and approved* by the following: Debra Hawhee Professor of English Thesis Supervisor Jack Selzer Paterno Family Liberal Arts Professor of Literature Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT Given the technological and informational revolution that has swept through baseball in the past decade, the experience of the avid fan has been similarly revolutionized since the turn of the millennium. Social media has provided new channels of communication, and the infusion of intellectualism into analysis has given the game a plethora of new and more accurate statistics to analyze player performance with. This thesis serves as a series of snapshots mapping these new phenomena, taken during the Pittsburgh Pirates’ 2012 season. It focuses on two games and highlights the aforementioned concepts within the narrative of a thrilling Pirates campaign. The first game features a Pittsburgh win over the Detroit Tigers, recounted in prose as well as the tweets of various fans and commentators. A few “new school” statistical concepts—fielding independent pitching metrics, the eschewing of traditional numbers such as runs batted in, and the opposition to sacrifice bunting as a strategic device—are introduced while summarizing the game action. The second game, a decidedly more discouraging event, catches up with the Pirates during their late-season tailspin, and results in a gutting loss to the lowly Houston Astros.
