Blakeley B. McShane, Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University Shane T. Jensen, University of Pennsylvania Recommended Citation: Piette, James; Braunstein, Alexander; McShane, Blakeley B.; and Jensen, Shane T. (2010) "A Point-Mass Mixture Random Effects Model for Pitching Metrics," Journal of Quantitative Analysis in Sports: Vol. 6: Iss. 3, Article 8. Available at: http://www.bepress.com/jqas/vol6/iss3/8 DOI: 10.2202/1559-0410.1237 ©2010 American Statistical Association. All rights reserved. A Point-Mass Mixture Random Effects Model for Pitching Metrics James Piette, Alexander Braunstein, Blakeley B. McShane, and Shane T. Jensen Abstract A plethora of statistics have been proposed to measure the effectiveness of pitchers in Major League Baseball. While many of these are quite traditional (e.g., ERA, wins), some have gained currency only recently (e.g., WHIP, K/BB). Some of these metrics may have predictive power, but it is unclear which are the most reliable or consistent. We address this question by constructing a Bayesian random effects model that incorporates a point mass mixture and fitting it to data on twenty metrics spanning approximately 2,500 players and 35 years. Our model identifies FIP, HR/ 9, ERA, and BB/9 as the highest signal metrics for starters and GB%, FB%, and K/9 as the highest signal metrics for relievers. In general, the metrics identified by our model are independent of team defense.

With four of the first six games being decided by a single run, the phenomenal comeback of the Halos in Game Six from a 5-0 deficit, and the tremendous Series performance of Barry Bonds, it was a most memorable Series.

  • Rolaids Media Release
    Contact: Wirz & Associates For Immediate Release (203) 877-5800 ([email protected]) September 30, 2002 SMOLTZ BREAKS ALL-TIME POINTS RECORD AND SAVES 55 GAMES TO TOP GAGNE IN N.L. RACE WHILE KOCH CLAIMS A.L. ROLAIDS TITLE Braves Romp to Third Team Bullpen Crown Atlanta’s John Smoltz and Billy Koch of Oakland, who likely will be key figures if their teams advance very far in baseball’s postseason, already have walked off with impressive individual honors by winning their respective league titles in the 27th annual Rolaids Relief Man competition. It was the first such award for both closers. Smoltz, who turned from a Cy Young-winning career as a starter to a closer late last season when elbow problems threatened his longevity, rang up the second best saves season (55) in major league history and edged Los Angeles flamethrower Eric Gagne for National League Rolaids honors, 164 points to 159. Gagne’s 52 saves are the fifth highest total on record. Smoltz was successful in his last 16 save opportunities to post the highest point total in the competition’s history, topping Trevor Hoffman’s 161 points for San Diego in 1998. His 55 saves broke the N.L. record and came within two of the major league mark of 57 established by Bobby Thigpen of the Chicago White Sox in 1990. (See Page 4 for all-time saves and points leaders.) Koch’s first season in Oakland after being obtained in a trade with Toronto was a workhorse-like campaign for the American League West-winning Athletics.
