  • Estimated Age Effects in Baseball
    Journal of Quantitative Analysis in Sports Volume 4, Issue 1 2008 Article 1 Estimated Age Effects in Baseball Ray C. Fair, Yale University Recommended Citation: Fair, Ray C. (2008) "Estimated Age Effects in Baseball," Journal of Quantitative Analysis in Sports: Vol. 4: Iss. 1, Article 1. DOI: 10.2202/1559-0410.1074 ©2008 American Statistical Association. All rights reserved. Brought to you by | Yale University Library New Haven (Yale University Library New Haven) Authenticated | 172.16.1.226 Download Date | 3/28/12 11:34 PM Estimated Age Effects in Baseball Ray C. Fair Abstract Age effects in baseball are estimated in this paper using a nonlinear fixed-effects regression. The sample consists of all players who have played 10 or more "full-time" years in the major leagues between 1921 and 2004. Quadratic improvement is assumed up to a peak-performance age, which is estimated, and then quadratic decline after that, where the two quadratics need not be the same. Each player has his own constant term. The results show that aging effects are larger for pitchers than for batters and larger for baseball than for track and field, running, and swimming events and for chess. There is some evidence that decline rates in baseball have decreased slightly in the more recent period, but they are still generally larger than those for the other events. There are 18 batters out of the sample of 441 whose performances in the second half of their careers noticeably exceed what the model predicts they should have been. All but 3 of these players played from 1990 on.

  • Weekly Notes 083117
    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES THURSDAY, AUGUST 31, 2017 KINGS OF K’S On Tuesday night against the Toronto Blue Jays, six-time All-Star Chris Sale registered the 1,500th strikeout of his Major League career. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Sale reached the milestone in his 1,290th career inning, the fewest numbers of innings needed for any pitcher in Major League history. Kerry Wood was the next fastest, accomplishing the feat over 1,303 innings of work, followed by Hall of Famers Pedro Martinez (1,337 IP), Randy Johnson (1,365.2 IP) and Nolan Ryan (1,384.2 IP). In addition, the dominant left-hander has logged 264 punchouts across 27 starts in his fi rst season with the Red Sox. Per Elias, only four other pitchers in MLB history have logged that many strikeouts in their fi rst season with a Club. Johnson holds the record, having recorded 364 strikeouts in his premier season with the Arizona Diamondbacks in 1999, trailed by Ryan (301), Roger Clemens (292), and Max Scherzer (276). The table below details each ace’s historical season with his new Club. Washington’s Scherzer made history Monday night after tallying 10 punchouts across 7.0 innings pitched against the Miami Marlins. With the outing, Scherzer joined Sale as the eighth hurler in MLB history to log at least 230 strikeouts over his fi rst 25 starts of a season. Sale, who accomplished the feat following his start on August 19th, notched 250 punchouts over his fi rst 25 outings. Across MLB history, six other pitchers have tallied that many strikeouts though their fi rst 25 outings of a season: Hall of Famers Sandy Koufax (1965) and Ryan (1973, 77, 89); Clemens (1988), Hall of Famers Johnson (1995, 97-2001) and Marinez (1997, 99, 2000), as well as Curt Schilling (2002).

    Orioles to celebrate 25 years at Camden Yards on August 18-19 Posted by TBNDavid On 08/16/2017 Fans are encouraged to arrive early on Saturday, August 19, as the Orioles celebrate the 25th anniversary season of Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Prior to the 7:05 p.m. game against the Los Angeles Angels, the Orioles will honor the first team to play at The Ballpark That Forever Changed BaseballTM when 19 members of the 1992 Orioles return for special reunion festivities. Among those expected to attend are Orioles Legend and National Baseball Hall of Famer Cal Ripken, Jr., Orioles Hall of Famers Brady Anderson, Rick Dempsey, Chris Hoiles, Mike Mussina, and Gregg Olson, as well as former Orioles Dick Bosman, Glenn Davis, Mike Devereaux, Leo Gomez, Sam Horn, Tim Hulett, Ben Mcdonald, Mark Mclemore, Joe Orsulak, Jim Poole, Rick Sutcliffe, Mark Williamson, and Orioles Bullpen Coach and former Orioles reliever Alan Mills. As part of the celebration, Anderson, Devereaux, Hoiles, Horn, and Orsulak will participate in a Home Run Derby beginning at 6:00 p.m. at Oriole Park. In the first round, each contestant will have 10 swings to hit as many home runs as possible beyond a 300-foot barrier. Two bonus points will be awarded for each home run that also clears the outfield wall at Oriole Park. The top two finishers will advance to the championship round, where they will compete head-to-head. Anderson, who currently serves as Vice President of Baseball Operations, ranks eighth on the Orioles all-time home run list with 209 home runs over 14 seasons with the O’s.
