Analyzing Managerial Efficiency in Major League Baseball: A Sabermetric Approach Jebediah C. Clarke A Thesis Submitted to Department of Economics Skidmore College In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for a B.A. Degree Thesis Advisor: Joerg Bibow May 3rd, 2016 Abstract Modern statistical analysis has allowed for teams to more accurately measure Major League Baseball player performance. However, other than tracing wins there are few ways to track the performance of on-field managers whose strategies, decisions, and expertise fundamentally influence the outcome of each game. I begin this paper by investigating and critiquing prior empirical analyses that have attempted to quantify the effect of managerial skill on team performance. Using Stochastic Frontier Analysis and data from the 2008-2015 MLB seasons, I expand on previous research by calculating managerial efficiency estimates while including control variables that better objectively measure player performance. I find that the least efficient managers achieve winning percentages that are around 80% of what is possible, given their players’ talent level.

Ejection Patterns
Ejections Through the Years and the Impact of Expanded Replay Ejections are a fascinating part of baseball and some have led to memorable confrontations, several of which are readily accessible in various electronic archives. Perhaps surprisingly, reliable information on ejections has been available only sporadically and there are many conflicting numbers in both print and on-line for even the most basic data such as the number of times a given player, manager or umpire was involved. The first comprehensive compilation of ejection data was carried out over many years by the late Doug Pappas, a tireless researcher in many areas of baseball, including economic analyses of the game. He not only amassed the details of over 11,000 ejections, he also lobbied intensely to have ejection information become a standard part of the daily box scores. He was successful in that effort and we have him to thank for something we now take for granted. After Doug’s passing, his ejection files made their way to Retrosheet where they were maintained and updated by the late David Vincent who expanded the database to over 15,000 events. In 2015, David used the expanded data in the Retrosheet files as the basis for an article which provided some fine background on the history of ejections along with many interesting anecdotes about especially unusual occurrences ((https://www.retrosheet.org/Research/VincentD/EjectionsHistory.pdf). Among other things, David noted that ejections only began in 1889 after a rule change giving umpires the authority to remove players, managers, and coaches as necessary. Prior to that time, offensive actions could only be punished by monetary fines.

Join the Team Fighting Cancer One Home Run at a Time! the Quest to Cure Cancer
JUNE 11-21, 2009 VOLUME NO. 14 “ F RO M COA S T TO COA S T ” 14TH SEASON 1996-2009 Join the team FIGHTING CANCER one home run at a time! THE QUEST TO CURE CANCER Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan famously said, “A beautiful thing about baseball is that every once in a while, you come into a situation where you want to, and where you have to, reach down and prove something.” That’s the situation cancer researchers face every day—they want to prove that cancer can be beaten. Thanks in part to your support, they’re making great progress in doing just that. Since 1993, the Prostate Cancer Foundation has accelerated development of more effective treatments, expanded our understanding of how cells become cancerous, produced new insights into areas like nutrition, and raised awareness of preventive activities. Most importantly, fewer men are PCF dying—as much as 50% below projections made in the 1990s. Mike Milken - Founder & Chairman By raising nearly $400 million directly, and guiding another $10 billion in funding from others—industry, government, philanthropists, people like you—the PCF has “Kept Dad in the Game.” More than 80 percent of prostate-cancer research leaders have been supported by the PCF, and a majority of drugs currently in the pipeline have our imprint on them. But as more men live longer, more will be diagnosed—this year alone, 192,000 more. So we must continue to support these remarkable researchers. This is the PCF Home Run Challenge’s 14th season—a partnership with Major League Baseball (MLB), its players, managers Jonathan Simons - President and CEOPCF and teams, as well as prominent sponsors, who raise awareness about prostate cancer worldwide and generate millions of dollars for crucial research.
