  • Leveraging Pitcher-Batter Matchups for Optimal Game Strategy
    Leveraging Pitcher-Batter Matchups for Optimal Game Strategy Paper Track: Baseball Paper ID: 13603 Willie K. Harrison∗ and John L. Salmony ∗Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering, Brigham Young University yDepartment of Mechanical Engineering, Brigham Young University 1. Introduction Recent play in Major League Baseball (MLB) has showcased many attempts to achieve an advantage through smart selection of pitcher-batter matchups. One such case in the 2018 postseason had the Los Angeles Dodgers’ manager, Dave Roberts, selecting an all right-handed batting lineup to face both Chris Sale and David Price in games one and two of the World Series. Both pitchers are left-handed, and the choice certainly tailors to the well-known lefty-righty handedness matchup strategy [10]. Further- more, this choice was inline with the platoon system that the Dodgers had employed throughout the 2018 regular season [15], often starting all right-handed batting lineups against left-handed starters, seemingly with great success. Although attempts have been made to optimize pitcher-batter matchup strategies in the sabermet- rics [2, 7, 9] literature (e.g., [5, 6]), these approaches have tended to apply averages of large data sets in an attempt to ��ine tune some matchup data. For example, Hirotsu and Wright used the handedness (i.e., left handed or right handed) of both the pitcher and the batter to adjust average batting statistics in an attempt to optimize the choice of pitcher substitution [6]. In this approach, if a batter’s dominant hand is opposite to that of a pitcher’s dominant hand, then the offensive statistics of the batter are as- sumed to be enhanced slightly for that speciic matchup.

    A strategy for optimization of cooperative platoon formation 1 Int. J. Vehicle Information and Communication Systems, Vol. x, No. x, xxxx 1 A strategy for optimization of cooperative platoon formation Thanh-Son Dao*, Jan Paul Huissoon Department of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, ON N2L 3G1, Canada E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] ∗Corresponding author Christopher Michael Clark Department of Computer Science, California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, CA 93407 USA E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: This paper presents a direction for cooperative vehicle pla- toon formation. To enhance traffic safety, increase lane capacities and reduce fuel consumption, vehicles can be organized into platoons with the objective of maximizing the travel distance that platoons stay intact. Toward this end, this work evaluates a proposed strategy which assigns vehicles to platoons by solving an optimization problem. A linear model for assigning vehicles to appropriate platoons when they enter the high- way is formulated. Simulation results demonstrate that lane capacity can be increased effectively when platooning operation is used. Keywords: platoon; platoon formation; vehicle sorting; intelligent transportation; GPS; optimization; simplex algorithm; linear program- ming; cooperative architecture; vehicle network; autonomous driving; ad-hoc network.

    2012 GRANDVILLE ROCKET FOOTBALL RULES / REGULATIONS ______________________________________________________________________ THE GRANDVILLE ROCKET FOOTBALL LEAGUE FOLLOWS MHSAA RULES EXCEPT FOR DIFFERENCES OUTLINED IN THESE RULES. IN THOSE INSTANCES THE GRANDVILLE ROCKET FOOTBALL LEAGUE RULES TAKE PRECEDENCE. ______________________________________________________________________ NONE of the GRANDVILLE ROCKET FOOTBALL LEAGUE, INC. rules can be waived by any person for any reason. Anyone willfully violating any rule will be suspended for one (1) year. A. PLAYING TIME / ROSTER LIMITS 1. All players shall have the opportunity to start on either offense or defense for one of the halves. A strict “two platoon” system is to be followed. A “Specialty” position is defined as any offensive position NOT from tackle to tackle. a. If a team has 22 or less players, all players shall have a starting position for both halves for offense and defense. Any players playing a Specialty position one half may not play a Specialty position the other half (see #2 below for injury procedure). Players should play as equally as possible. b. If a team has 23 or more players, each player will have a designated half to play offense and the other half on defense. Players should play as equally as possible. 2. If injuries occur and there is not a backup player for that position for the current half of play, and it becomes necessary to play a player in a position of their non- designated half, a brief meeting shall be held in the center of the field with both head coaches, the head official and the Director. An agreement shall be made, by these individuals, for an appropriate substitute before play will continue.
