Suggestion of Batter Ability Index in Korea Baseball - Focusing on the Sabermetrics Statistics WAR
The Korean Journal of Applied Statistics (2016) DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5351/KJAS.2016.29.7.1271 29(7), 1271{1281 Suggestion of batter ability index in Korea baseball - focusing on the sabermetrics statistics WAR Jea-Young Leea;1 · Hyeon-Gyu Kima aDepartment of Statistics, Yeungnam University (Received August 8, 2016; Revised August 30, 2016; Accepted August 30, 2016) Abstract Wins above replacement (WAR) is one of the most widely used statistic among sabermatrics statistics that measure the ability of a batter in baseball. WAR has a great advantage that is to represent the attack power of the player and the base running ability, defensive ability as a single value. In this study, we proposed a hitter ability index using the sabermetrics statistics that can replace WAR based on Korea Baseball Record Data of the last three years (2013{2015). First, we calculated Batter ability index through the arithmetic mean method, the weighted average method, principal component regression and selected the method that had high correlation with WAR.

Mapping Batter Ability in Baseball Using Spatial Statistics Techniques
Section on Statistical Graphics – JSM 2010 Mapping Batter Ability in Baseball Using Spatial Statistics Techniques Ben Baumer∗ Dana Draghicescuy Abstract In baseball, an area in or around the strike zone in which batters are more likely to hit the ball is called a hot zone. Scouting reports are often based on maps displaying a player's batting average in a discretized area of the strike zone. These reports are then used by both batting and pitching coaches to devise game strategies. This paper is motivated by the Sportvision PITCHf/x data, which provides accurate continuous location coordinates for individual pitches using high-speed cameras. Extended exploratory analyses show a number of interesting and challenging spatial features that we exploit in order to produce improved hot zone maps based on both parametric (kriging) and nonparametric (smoothing) techniques. Key Words: baseball, hot zone, kernel smoothing, kriging, PITCHf/x data, spatial prediction 1. Motivation In baseball, the concept of a hot zone (an area in or around the strike zone in which batters are more likely to hit the ball well) is common, going at least as far back the publication of Ted Williams's book, The Science of Hitting, in 1986 (Williams and Underwood 1986). Major television broadcasts commonly display a graphic in which the strike zone is divided into a 3×3 grid, and a batter's batting average in each cell in shown. Within the industry, several vendors produce more elaborate scouting reports based on this same principle of displaying a batter's batting average in a discretized area of the strike zone. -

An Open Source System for Evaluating Overall Player Performance in Major League Baseball
openWAR: An Open Source System for Evaluating Overall Player Performance in Major League Baseball Benjamin S. Baumer Shane T. Jensen Smith College The Wharton School [email protected] University of Pennsylvania [email protected] Gregory J. Matthews Loyola University Chicago [email protected] March 25, 2015 Abstract Within sports analytics, there is substantial interest in comprehensive statistics intended to capture overall player performance. In baseball, one such measure is Wins Above Replace- ment (WAR), which aggregates the contributions of a player in each facet of the game: hitting, pitching, baserunning, and fielding. However, current versions of WAR depend upon propri- etary data, ad hoc methodology, and opaque calculations. We propose a competitive aggregate measure, openW AR, that is based on public data, a methodology with greater rigor and trans- parency, and a principled standard for the nebulous concept of a \replacement" player. Finally, we use simulation-based techniques to provide interval estimates for our openW AR measure that are easily portable to other domains. Keywords: baseball, statistical modeling, simulation, R, reproducibility 1 Introduction In sports analytics, researchers apply statistical methods to game data in order to estimate key quantities of interest. In team sports, arguably the most fundamental challenge is to quantify the contributions of individual players towards the collective performance of their team. In all sports the arXiv:1312.7158v3 [stat.AP] 24 Mar 2015 ultimate goal is winning and so the ultimate measure of player performance is that player's overall contribution to the number of games that his team wins. Although we focus on a particular measure of player contribution, wins above replacement (WAR) in major league baseball, the issues and approaches examined in this paper apply more generally to any endeavor to provide a comprehensive measure of individual player performance in sports. -

Summaries of Research Using Retrosheet Data
Acharya, Robit A., Alexander J. Ahmed, Alexander N. D’Amour, Haibo Lu, Carl N. Morris, Bradley D. Oglevee, Andrew W. Peterson, and Robert N. Swift (2008). Improving major league baseball park factor estimates. Journal of Quantitative Analysis in Sports, Vol. 4 Issue 2, Article 4. There are at least two obvious problems with the original Pete Palmer method for determining ballpark factor: assumption of a balanced schedule and the sample size issue (one year is too short for a stable estimate, many years usually means new ballparks and changes in the standing of any specific ballpark relative to the others). A group of researchers including Carl Morris (Acharya et al., 2008) discerned another problem with that formula; inflationary bias. I use their example to illustrate: Assume a two-team league with Team A’s ballpark “really” has a factor of 2 and Team B’s park a “real” factor of .5. That means four times as many runs should be scored in the first as in the second. Now we assume that this hold true, and that in two-game series at each park each team scores a total of eight runs at A’s home and two runs a B’s. If you plug these numbers into the basic formula, you get 1 – (8 + 8) / 2 = 8 for A; (2 + 2) / 2 = 2 for B 2 – (2 + 2) / 2 = 2 for A; (8 + 8) / 2 = 8 for B 3 – 8 / 2 = 4 for A; 2 / 8 = .25 for B figures that are twice what they should be. The authors proposed that a simultaneous solving of a series of equations controlling for team offense and defense, with the result representing the number of runs above or below league average the home park would give up during a given season.
