  • 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.

  • Rookie Records Unusual Records Firsts for Foreign-Born Players Six Hits in One Nine-Inning Game
    Rookie Records Unusual Records Firsts for Foreign-Born Players Six Hits in One Nine-Inning Game Chapter 14 The interesting facts for Chapter 14 consist of rookie records, unusual records, and famous firsts for foreign-born players. Rookie Records The rookie records were obtained from the book “The SABR Baseball List & Record Book” by The Society for American Baseball Research. The criteria provided, in that book, for a player to qualify as a rookie is: From 1900 to 1970, a batter was considered a rookie if he had less than 90 previous at-bats. From 1971 to the present, a batter is considered a rookie if he had less than 130 previous at-bats. Even though the National League was founded in 1876, our records will only consider the years beginning in 1900. Most Base-On-Balls in a Season by a Rookie – Record is held by Ted Williams (1939). The record is 107 base-on-balls. Most Hits in a Season by a Rookie - Record is held by Ichiro Suzuki (2001). The record is 242 hits. Most Home Runs in a Season by a Rookie - Record is held by Mark McGwire (1987). The record is 49 home runs. Highest Batting Average in a Season by a Rookie - Record is held by Benny Kauff (1914). The record is a batting average of .370. *Joe Jackson had a .408 BA in 1911*. Before 1911, Joe had 115 at-bats which would disqualify him for consideration. Supplementary Readings for Sandlot Stats by Stanley Rothman Page 1 Highest On-Base-Percentage in a Season by a Rookie - Record is held by Benny Kauff (1914).

  • Streaky Hitting in Baseball
    Journal of Quantitative Analysis in Sports Volume 4, Issue 1 2008 Article 3 Streaky Hitting in Baseball Jim Albert∗ ∗Bowling Green State University, [email protected] Copyright c 2008 The Berkeley Electronic Press. All rights reserved. " Streaky Hitting in Baseball Jim Albert Abstract The streaky hitting patterns of all regular baseball players during the 2005 season are ex- plored. Patterns of hits/outs, home runs and strikeouts are considered using different measures of streakiness. An adjustment method is proposed that helps in understanding the size of a streak- iness measure given the player’s ability and number of hitting opportunities. An exchangeable model is used to estimate the hitting abilities of all players and this model is used to understand the pattern of streakiness of all players in the 2005 season. This exchangeable model that assumes that all players are consistent with constant probabilities of success appears to explain much of the observed streaky behavior. But there are some players that appear to exhibit more streakiness than one would predict from the model. KEYWORDS: batting logs, consistent hitting, exchangeable model, Bayes factor Albert: Streaky Hitting in Baseball 1 Introduction Consider the batting logs for all players in the 2005 baseball season. We focus on the “regular” players who had at least 300 plate appearances during this season; this will exclude pitchers and part-time players who may have different batting tendencies from the regular players. By using different def- initions of “batting success”, we will focus on sequences of three types of hitting data. • Hitting data. Here we focus only a player’s official at-bats (excluding walks, hit by pitches, and sacrifice flies), and define a “success”, coded by 1, if the player gets a hit, and 0 otherwise.
