  • New Approaches to Historical Pitcher Evaluation Using DRA 3
    New Approaches F to Historical Pitcher Evaluation Using DRA In 2001, Voros McCracken published an article at baseballprospectus.com in which he introduced to the public the idea that pitchers have surprisingly little control over the outcomes of at-bats, excluding strikeouts and home runs, or “batting average on balls in play” (“BABIP”). McCracken found that there was an extremely low correlation in each pitcher’s BABIP from year to year, and that most long-term BABIP rates for pitchers were very similar. Veteran baseball analyst Craig Wright immediately identifi ed two particular groups of pitchers that tend to have noticeably lower BABIP (extreme fl y ball pitchers and knuckleball pitchers), but praised McCracken as “… the guy who really got people to understand that most folks overestimate the pitch- er’s ability to infl uence the number of hits that result from balls batted into the fi eld of play.” In contrast, McCracken found that walk, strikeout, and, to a lesser extent, home run rates of each pitcher were far more consistent year-to-year and varied greatly over long periods of time from pitcher to pitcher. McCracken therefore proposed that pitchers should be evaluated by the statistics over which they have the most control, that are “independent” of the quality of the defenses behind them — strikeouts, walks, and home runs. McCracken developed a method for converting these elements directly into another sta- tistic, scaled the same as ERA, that he called Defense Independent Pitching Statistics (“DIPS”). In 2003, I introduced the basic ideas of DRA in an on-line article at the predecessor website to baseballthinkfactory.com.

  • Negro League Baseball History
    TEAM UP OCTOBER NEWSLETTER 2020 NEGRO LEAGUE BASEBALL HISTORY From the 1880s until 1947 — more than 60 years — white people did not let black people play in Major League Baseball with them. There was a time in America when it was widely accepted that people were not allowed to do things because of the color of their skin. African Americans had to use different bathrooms and drink from different water fountains than white people. They could not to go to hotels or restaurants that served white customers. Even though there have been laws passed making this discrimination illegal, racism still exists. This racism did not stop black baseball players from playing the game they love. By the 1900s, African Americans formed their own baseball leagues. In 1910, Andrew “Rube” Foster, a black player and manager, became owner of the all-black Chicago American Giants. In 1920, he helped organize the Negro National League. Life in the Negro National League was not easy. Teams struggled to make a profit. Players had to travel long distances, often in broken-down buses. They were paid very little, sometimes only $100 a month, while white ballplayers made three to four times more than that in the Major Leagues. For more than 30 years the Negro National League was very successful and large crowds attended the games. In 1947, Jackie Robinson became the first black player to move from the Negro League to Major League Baseball, playing for the Brooklyn Dodgers. This was the beginning of baseball integration — black and white ballplayers playing together. It also started the decline and eventual end of the Negro National League.

  • Danks for the Memories
    Danks for the Memories Posted by Paul Ladewski Wednesday, October 1st, 2008 While corks popped and champagne sprayed in their clubhouse late Tuesday evening, only moments after the White Sox had beaten the Minnesota Twins to claim the Central Division title and a postseason berth, general manager Ken Williams suddenly remembered why his team was there in the first place. "Where's John Danks!? Anybody see John Danks?!" Williams shouted to nobody and everybody in particular while he checked out the craziness around him, his vision reduced to a squint by the sweet burn of success. "Where did John Danks go?!" The question wasn't where John Danks went, really. The question was, where did the kid come from? And how special was what he had done? A 23-year-old such as Danks isn't supposed to be able to pitch the game of his life in a one-game, winner-take-all situation, especially one who works on three days' rest. Four days earlier, Danks allowed seven runs in four innings against the Cleveland Indians, a loss that left his team one-half game in back of the Twins with three left to play. Realistically, he couldn't have been expected to do much more than that on short rest. "Six and three," Williams said. "That's what we hoped that John would give us -- six and three." As in six innings plus three batters. Instead, Danks gave his team eight and oh! Not only did Danks blank the Twins on two hits in the 1-0 thriller, but the lefthander was in such complete and utter control that he required only 103 pitches to get through eight innings before Bobby Jenks came out of the bullpen.
