This is one of a series of reviews of sabermetric articles published in academic journals. It is part of a project of mine to collect and catalog sabermetric research, and I would appreciate learning of and receiving copies of any studies of which I am unaware.

  • 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).

    NATIONAL COLLEGIATE BASEBALL WRITERS ASSOCIATION (June 10, 2003) ncbwa.com Contact: Bo Carter (214-742-1212) or Rob Carolla (401-453-0660) NCBWA ANNOUNCES 2003 DIVISION I ALL-AMERICA TEAMS PROVIDENCE, R.I. — The National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association announced its 13th annual 2003 All-America Division I baseball teams on Tuesday. The three-unit squads definitely are the cream of the DI crop and have solid representation among NCAA World Series teams. They also reflect some good prognostication by the baseball writers in their 2003 preseason All-America choices. 2003 Dick Howser Trophy finalist Rickie Weeks of Southern heads an all-star cast of .400-plus hitters, standout pitchers, and CWS participants on the NCBWA postseason All-America grouping. The Southwestern Athletic Conference’s Player of the Year in both 2002 and ’03 capped his junior season with a .479 batting average to lead the nation for the second year in succession, hitting 16 homers and driving in 64 runs—good for 11th place nationally with 1.29 RBI per game. In his final two seasons as SU, the second-overall MLB draft selection (Milwaukee Brewers) smashed 36 home runs and drove in 160 runs (including 96 in 2002) during a 107-game span. Weeks is not alone in his stunning stats, though, as first team All-America pitcher Jeff Niemann of Rice leads the nation with a 16-0 record and fellow NCAA World Series participant David Marchbanks of South Carolina was 15-2 overall prior to his Omaha trek. Long Beach State’s Jered Weaver, brother of New York Yankees’ hurler Jeff Weaver, also notched a 14-4 record with a school-season-record 144 strikeouts.
