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.

  • Baseball with Popcorn, Statistics and SAS - What a Mix David Franklin, Theprogrammerscabin.Com, Litchfield, NH
    NESUG 2011 Statistics & Analysis Baseball with Popcorn, Statistics and SAS - What A Mix David Franklin, TheProgrammersCabin.com, Litchfield, NH ABSTRACT The year is almost over. At the end of September another year of baseball will be over. Then the talk will be over who was the best player for the season – a look at the statistics will those who make this decision. Statistics in sports has been around since sports were first played, and where there is statistics, SAS® is not far behind. This paper looks at Baseball statistics, how they were developed, then look at the how some of the more common statistics are calculated. Finally, a program will be presented that was developed and used in local minor league to solve the riddle of who was the best pitcher and batter. INTRODUCTION Baseball statistics can be traced back to its roots in cricket. It was a person by the name of Henry Chadwick in the 19th century who first brought the science of numbers to the sport with his experience in cricket statistics. From the start statistics such as the batting average and earned run average have been prominent. However in recent years there have been a new slew of statistics computed that draw attention to almost every facet of baseball, whether it be batting, pitching or fielding. This paper will have a look at how a few of the more common statistics that are calculated, and then show an example based on the real world in a local minor league where the question was answered, who was the best pitcher and best batter for the season.

  • REPLAY BASEBALL Welcome to REPLAY
    Welcome to REPLAY BASEBALL © 2010 Replay Publishing In 1973, John Brodak and Norm Roth, avid baseball fans and tabletop baseball gamers, wanted to invent a baseball board game that incorporated all the details of the sport they wanted to see but in a simple, easy-flowing way. Their creation, Replay Baseball , has been enjoyed by thousands of baseball board game fans around the globe ever since. Over the years, the game has been fine-tuned with new features, as the world of baseball statistics has evolved and these new ideas have been translated to the Replay tabletop. What makes Replay Baseball special? Replay established its niche in tabletop baseball with its most unique feature: A pitcher’s or fielder’s rating is added to a batter’s rating, allowing both sides the chance to influence every play. The defensive team’s rating is al- ways in the 1 to 5 range, keeping the math simple. Using this offense + defense system, play results are found in a simple Chart Book, reading in a unique narrative style which adds to the baseball ‘feel’ when playing a game of Replay. Within Replay’s Chart Book and expansive Rare Play Book, nearly all baseball plays and situations are possible. Playability was key to Norm and John, so another strength of the game is its ability to distill even more complex baseball concepts into a game that can be played in 30 minutes or less on the tabletop. Originally played with two six-sided dice, more recently Replay Baseball can also be played with three dice, allowing even greater variety of outcomes and a finer degree of precision to ratings when used.
