    BOSTON UNIVERSITY/KEIO UNIVERSITY WORKSHOP 2016 The Evaluation of Catcher “Framing” using PITCHf/x data Daiki Nagata Keio University Mihoko Minami and DataStadium Inc. What is “Framing”? Framing is the technique that a catcher uses when receiving a pitch. wikipedia 『The catcher can help his pitcher get more strike calls from the umpire by using a technique called ”framing” 』 In other words, framing is the ability to receive a pitch such that the probability of called strike is increased. 2 Let’s look at “Framing” • Jose Molina • Judge : Strike http://grantland.com/features/studying-art-pitch-framing-catchers-such- francisco-cervelli-chris-stewart-jose-molina-others/ 3 Let’s look at “Framing” • Ryan Doumit • Judge : Ball http://grantland.com/features/studying-art-pitch-framing-catchers-such- francisco-cervelli-chris-stewart-jose-molina-others/ 4 PITCHf/x • The PITCHf/x® service tracks the full trajectory of live baseball pitches, and gets an information of speed or location. • It has been installed in all 30 stadiums, and currently tracks pitches for every MLB game. http://www.sportvision.combaseball/pitchfx® 5 Strike or Ball Right-handed batter Left-handed batter ＊Catcher’s point of view 6 Generalized Additive Model (GAM) (Called Strike) (Ball) Logistic Regression Model smooth term (Pavilidis,H.,and Brooks,D.(2014)) : Plate location for th pitch : Thin plate regression spline Visualization of Estimated Probability Right-handed batter Left-handed batter ＊Catcher’s point of view 8 (Ordinary) Run Value • Run Value is calculated by averaging

  • SF Giants Press Clips Friday, March 17, 2017
    SF Giants Press Clips Friday, March 17, 2017 San Francisco Chronicle Giants’ Christian Arroyo: next piece of homegrown infield? John Shea SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — The Giants love shortstops. Theirs is one of the best in baseball, Brandon Crawford. Their second baseman was drafted as a shortstop and converted in the minors, Joe Panik. They drafted Matt Duffy as a shortstop and taught him to play third base as a big-leaguer. Last summer, they traded for Eduardo Nuñez, who had played mostly shortstop during his career but played third after Duffy was traded to Tampa Bay. Heck, even Buster Posey played shortstop in college. No wonder the Giants’ top hitting prospect is a shortstop. Not that Christian Arroyo is targeted to play the position in the big leagues, not with Mr. Crawford in the house. Arroyo, who’s 21 going on 30, is the team’s third baseman of the future, and we’re not talking the distant future. It’s not unrealistic to imagine Arroyo playing third on Opening Day in 2018, so long as he continues to excel on the fast track. 1 “For me, they stressed the value of versatility,” Arroyo said at his Scottsdale Stadium locker. “Staying versatile is going to be huge.” Arroyo was the Giants’ top draft pick in 2013 — he was salutatorian at Hernando High School in Brooksville, Fla. — and he signed after turning down a scholarship from Florida, where he would have studied architectural engineering. He’s plenty smart enough to realize his ticket to the big leagues might not be at his No.

  • Weekly Notes 072817
    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES FRIDAY, JULY 28, 2017 BLACKMON WORKING TOWARD HISTORIC SEASON On Sunday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Coors Field, Colorado Rockies All-Star outfi elder Charlie Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and his 24th home run of the season. With the round-tripper, Blackmon recorded his 57th extra-base hit on the season, which include 20 doubles, 13 triples and his aforementioned 24 home runs. Pacing the Majors in triples, Blackmon trails only his teammate, All-Star Nolan Arenado for the most extra-base hits (60) in the Majors. Blackmon is looking to become the fi rst Major League player to log at least 20 doubles, 20 triples and 20 home runs in a single season since Curtis Granderson (38-23-23) and Jimmy Rollins (38-20-30) both accomplished the feat during the 2007 season. Since 1901, there have only been seven 20-20-20 players, including Granderson, Rollins, Hall of Famers George Brett (1979) and Willie Mays (1957), Jeff Heath (1941), Hall of Famer Jim Bottomley (1928) and Frank Schulte, who did so during his MVP-winning 1911 season. Charlie would become the fi rst Rockies player in franchise history to post such a season. If the season were to end today, Blackmon’s extra-base hit line (20-13-24) has only been replicated by 34 diff erent players in MLB history with Rollins’ 2007 season being the most recent. It is the fi rst stat line of its kind in Rockies franchise history. Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig is the only player in history to post such a line in four seasons (1927-28, 30-31).

  • Replacing Russell Martin
    Replacing Russell Martin Russell Martin, the New York Yankees' catcher during the last two years, left the Yankees to sign as a free agent with the Pittsburgh Pirates. To the ears of most Yankee fans, this sounds incongruous. The Pirates are a team from whom the Yankees sign free agents, not a team that signs away valuable Yankee players. When people think of great Yankee traditions, they often think of centerfield, where three Hall of Famers, albeit one (Earle Combs) who is a borderline case, played that position for most of the years from the mid-1920s through the mid-1960s, and where another great player, Bernie Williams, played for much of the Yankees' latest run of greatness. However, the Yankee tradition at catcher has also been very strong. Hall of Famers Bill Dickey and Yogi Berra held that position down for most of the 30s-50s, while other great players like Elston Howard, Thurman Munson and Jorge Posada have been integral parts of many great Yankee teams. Martin obviously is not part of that tradition, but he is a useful player who will not be easy to replace. Martin is not a great all around player. He is a lifetime .260 hitter who has not even managed to hit that well since 2008. Martin draws most of his value from being able to do two things well, play defense and hit for power. During his two years with the Yankees he has hit 39 home runs, and did solid work behind the plate. He has also drew 103 walks during his two years in pinstripes, which has also bolstered his offensive contributions.
