  • The Rules of Scoring
    THE RULES OF SCORING 2011 OFFICIAL BASEBALL RULES WITH CHANGES FROM LITTLE LEAGUE BASEBALL’S “WHAT’S THE SCORE” PUBLICATION INTRODUCTION These “Rules of Scoring” are for the use of those managers and coaches who want to score a Juvenile or Minor League game or wish to know how to correctly score a play or a time at bat during a Juvenile or Minor League game. These “Rules of Scoring” address the recording of individual and team actions, runs batted in, base hits and determining their value, stolen bases and caught stealing, sacrifices, put outs and assists, when to charge or not charge a fielder with an error, wild pitches and passed balls, bases on balls and strikeouts, earned runs, and the winning and losing pitcher. Unlike the Official Baseball Rules used by professional baseball and many amateur leagues, the Little League Playing Rules do not address The Rules of Scoring. However, the Little League Rules of Scoring are similar to the scoring rules used in professional baseball found in Rule 10 of the Official Baseball Rules. Consequently, Rule 10 of the Official Baseball Rules is used as the basis for these Rules of Scoring. However, there are differences (e.g., when to charge or not charge a fielder with an error, runs batted in, winning and losing pitcher). These differences are based on Little League Baseball’s “What’s the Score” booklet. Those additional rules and those modified rules from the “What’s the Score” booklet are in italics. The “What’s the Score” booklet assigns the Official Scorer certain duties under Little League Regulation VI concerning pitching limits which have not implemented by the IAB (see Juvenile League Rule 12.08.08).

  • Here Comes the Strikeout
    LEVEL 2.0 7573 HERE COMES THE STRIKEOUT BY LEONARD KESSLER In the spring the birds sing. The grass is green. Boys and girls run to play BASEBALL. Bobby plays baseball too. He can run the bases fast. He can slide. He can catch the ball. But he cannot hit the ball. He has never hit the ball. “Twenty times at bat and twenty strikeouts,” said Bobby. “I am in a bad slump.” “Next time try my good-luck bat,” said Willie. “Thank you,” said Bobby. “I hope it will help me get a hit.” “Boo, Bobby,” yelled the other team. “Easy out. Easy out. Here comes the strikeout.” “He can’t hit.” “Give him the fast ball.” Bobby stood at home plate and waited. The first pitch was a fast ball. “Strike one.” The next pitch was slow. Bobby swung hard, but he missed. “Strike two.” “Boo!” Strike him out!” “I will hit it this time,” said Bobby. He stepped out of the batter’s box. He tapped the lucky bat on the ground. He stepped back into the batter’s box. He waited for the pitch. It was fast ball right over the plate. Bobby swung. “STRIKE TRHEE! You are OUT!” The game was over. Bobby’s team had lost the game. “I did it again,” said Bobby. “Twenty –one time at bat. Twenty-one strikeouts. Take back your lucky bat, Willie. It was not lucky for me.” It was not a good day for Bobby. He had missed two fly balls. One dropped out of his glove.

  • Report of the Committee Studying Home Run Rates in Major League Baseball
    Report of the Committee Studying Home Run Rates in Major League Baseball Jim Albert1, Jay Bartroff2, Roger Blandford3, Dan Brooks4, Josh Derenski2, Larry Goldstein2, Anette (Peko) Hosoi5, Gary Lorden6, Alan Nathan7, and Lloyd Smith8 1Bowling Green State University 2University of Southern California 3Stanford 4BrooksBaseball.net 5MIT 6Caltech 7University of Illinois 8Washington State May24, 2018 Abstract A report is given analyzing possible causes of the surge in home run rate in Major League Baseball in the past several years. 1 Executive Summary We, the members of the committee, were charged by the Office of the Commissioner of Baseball (BOC) to give the full benefit of our knowledge and expertise and to conduct primary and secondary research in order to identify the potential causes of the increase in the rate at which home runs were hit in 2015, 2016, and 2017. The committee reported directly to Morgan Sword (Senior Vice President, League Economics and Operations), who, along with Reed MacPhail (Senior Director, League Economics) and Roy Krasik (Senior Director, League Op- erations) were very supportive of our many requests for resources that were needed to carry out our charge. The committee set its own agenda and arrived at its own conclusions and recommendations, independent of MLB. Methodology In order to conduct our investigations, we performed the following analysis and testing: 1. We reviewed and analyzed StatCast statistical data from the 2015, 2016 and 2017 seasons, including data on pitch type, exit velocity, launch angle, spray angle, spin rate, spin axis, and distance traveled. We also reviewed and analyzed HITf/x statistical data from the 2015 and 2016 seasons, including data on exit velocity, launch angle, and spray angle.

  • Optimizing the Swing Alan M
    Optimizing the Swing Alan M. Nathan Department of Physics University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign When I first started writing this article a few weeks ago, the focus was very simple. It was motivated when someone posted a link to a 2004 WSJ article, “Why Hitting Curveballs Scores More Runs; How Pedro Proves Rule” in which it was claimed that an optimally hit curveball can be hit farther than an optimally hit fastball. The article was based on an interview with Professor Mont Hubbard of U.C./Davis, who had earlier published an article in American Journal of Physics, “How to hit home runs: Optimum baseball bat swing parameters for maximum range trajectories” , that directly addressed this topic. Some discussion ensued on Twitter, concluding with a question posed to me: Is the claim ``fact, theory, or nonsense''? The essential idea behind the claim is quite easy to state. On the one hand, a faster pitch can be hit harder and can therefore travel farther than a slower pitch. That would seem to give the edge to a fastball over a curveball. On the other hand, a curveball can be hit with greater backspin than a fastball. Greater backspin means more lift, which leads to a longer distance on a fly ball. Hubbard goes through a very nice explanation in the WSJ article for why a curveball can be hit with greater backspin than a fastball. It is the ultimate in simplicity and worth repeating here. If the ball approaches the batter with topspin, then reverses direction, the topspin becomes backspin.

  • 1. Intro to Scorekeeping
    1. Intro To Scorekeeping The following terms will be used on this site: Cell: The term cell refers to the square in which the player’s at-bat is recorded. In this illustration, the cell is the box where the diagram is drawn. Scorecard, Scorebook: Will be used interchangeably and refer to the sheet that records the player and scoring information during a baseball game. Scorekeeper: Refers to someone on a team that keeps the score for the purposes of the team. Official Scorer: The designated person whose scorekeeping is considered the official record of the game. The Official Scorer is not a member of either team. Baseball’s Defensive Positions To “keep score” of a baseball game it is essential to know the defensive positions and their shorthand representation. For example, the number “1” is used to refer to the pitcher (P). NOTE : In the younger levels of youth baseball leagues 10 defensive players are used. This 10 th position is know as the Short Center Fielder (SC) and is positioned between second base and the second baseman, on the beginning of the outfield grass. The Short Center Fielder bats and can be placed anywhere in the batting lineup. Defensive Positions, Numbers & Abbreviations Position Number Defensive Position Position Abbrev. 1 Pitcher P 2 Catcher C 3 First Baseman 1B 4 Second Baseman 2B 5 Third Baseman 3B 6 Short Stop SS 7 Left Fielder LF 8 Center Fielder CF 9 Right Fielder RF 10 Short Center Fielder SC The illustration below shows the defensive position for the defense.

  • Baseball Scorekeeping 101
    BASEBALL SCOREKEEPING 101 All that is needed to be a successful scorekeeper is a little scorekeeping knowledge and a keen eye when watching the games. The first thing that any person must know is the abbreviations for the terms used in baseball. 1B Single HBP Hit by Pitch 2B Double HR Home Run 3B Triple I Interference A Assist K Strike Out Swinging BB Walk KC or Strike Out Called By Umpire BK Balk LOB Left on Base CS Caught Stealing PB Passed Ball DP Double Play RBI Runs Batted In E Error SAC Sacrifice F Fly Out SB Stolen Base f Foul Out WP Wild Pitch FC Fielder’s Choice When keeping score these terms will be used to describe the game. If the terms are used correctly any person who picks up the scorebook will be able to tell what happened in the game. The next thing a person must know to keep score is the numbers used to describe each position. The baseball diamond is as follows 1 – Pitcher 2 – Catcher 3 – First Base 4 – Second Base 5 – Third Base 6 – Short Stop 7 – Left Field 8 – Center Field 9 – Right Field Scoring Balls and Strikes All scorebooks have a spot to mark balls and strikes. They are usually in the form of five little squares or circles. To score a ball or strike you either put a line, number, or color in the little squares or circles. If you use the number method it is good to number the pitches in order they occurred. EX. Scoring Outs To score an out, know where the ball went, who the ball was thrown to, or who caught the ball.

  • Odd Baseball Events Odd Home Run Events Intentional Base on Balls (IBB) Trivia
    Odd Baseball Events Odd Home Run Events Intentional Base on Balls (IBB) Trivia Chapter 12 The interesting facts following Chapter 12 look at some strange outcomes and events in baseball. The chapter closes with a discussion of the intentional bases on balls (IBB). The IBB statistic took on new importance due to Barry Bonds. In fact Barry Bonds received an intentional base on balls with the bases loaded. From Baseball to Oddball Herb Washington, a pinch runner for the Oakland Athletics, appeared in 105 games during the 1974 and 1975 seasons. He stole 31 bases and scored 33 runs, but never batted once. Robin Yount drove in exactly 77 runs in three successive seasons (1990-1992). Rickey Gutierrez had a batting average of.261 for Houston for three consecutive seasons. He was 79 for 303 in 1997, 128 for 491 in 1998, and 70 for 268 in 1999. Luis Castillo batted .334 (180 for 539) for the Florida Marlins in 2000. What makes this statistic so unusual is he only drove in 17 runs. This amount of RBIs is the fewest for any batter with a .300 average and over 500 at-bats. Harry Heilmann won the American League batting title in four consecutive odd- numbered years. Heilmann’s average was .394 in 1921, .403 in 1923, .393 in 1925, and .398 in 1927. Carlos Delgado’s first Major League home run came on April 4, 1994 and was the only home run he hit in that game. The100th, 200th, and 300th home runs he belted had a very unusual pattern.
