  • Applying Matching Equation to Pitch Selection in Major League Baseball
    APPLYING MATCHING EQUATION TO PITCH SELECTION IN MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL __________________________________________________________________ A Thesis Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Masters of Education in Applied Behavior Analysis __________________________________________________________________ David Dragone August 2018 Examining Committee Members: Donald Hantula, Ph.D., Thesis Advisor, Department of Psychology Matt Tincani, Ph. D., BCBA-D, Department of Education Amanda Guld Fisher, Ph. D., BCBA-D, College of Education ABSTRACT This study applied the generalized matching equation (GME) to pitch selection in MLB during the 2016 regular season. The GME was used to evaluate the pitch selection of 21 groups of pitchers as well as 144 individual pitchers. The GME described pitch selection well for four of the 21 pitching groups and 32 of the 144 individual pitchers. Of the remaining groups and individual pitchers, behavior may be explained by rule following behavior or be impacted by distant reinforcers such as salary. All 21 groups demonstrated a bias for fastballs as well as 119 of the 144 individual pitchers. The results extend the use of the GME to natural contexts and suggest an alternative view to evaluating pitchers. KEYWORDS: general matching theory, general matching equation, sports, baseball, reinforcement ii DEDICATION This study is dedicated to the countless number of people who have supported me throughout the years both in this degree and professionally. Thank you, to my wife, Jen, and Children, Aurora and Rose, who gave me the motivation to keep working through this process and seeing it through to the end. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank Dr.

    AUGUST 27th PAWTUCKET (63-68) at BUFFALO (61-68) 7:05 pm Pawtucket Red Sox RHP William Cuevas (9-7, 3.44) vs. Buffalo Bisons RHP Zach Stewart (2-0, 4.26) One Week to Go - The Pawtucket Red Sox begin the final full week of the season (the regular-season ends next Monday afternoon at McCoy Stadium) when they play the finale of this 4-game series in Buffalo - and their 8-game roadtrip - tonight at 7:05 pm at Coca- Cola Field in downtown Buffalo. The PawSox – winners of 11 of their last 18 games – have won the last two games of this wrap- round weekend series against the Bisons (AAA-Toronto) by 8-5 and 8-3 scores over the weekend after dropping the opener on Friday, 13-4. The Sox have split each of their last two series – both 4-game sets vs. Durham from August 16-19 and at Rochester from August 21-23. They have a chance tonight to capture this series outright with a victory over the Bisons. The PawSox are 15-20-6 in their 41 series this season (15 wins, 20 losses, and 6 splits) pending tonight. Three’s Company - This series has proven to be a battle for 3rd-place in the IL North as the clubs came into play on Friday in a virtual tie for the third spot in the division. Buffalo took over sole possession of 3rd with their victory on Friday but the PawSox have bounced back over the Bisons with their two wins over the weekend.
