Major League Baseball (MLB) is a league of different teams in different cities all across the United States, and those locations strongly influence the market of the team and thus the payroll. Year after year, a certain amount of teams, including the usual ones in big markets, choose to spend a great amount on payroll in hopes of improving their team and its player value output, but at times the statistics produced by these teams may not match the difference in payroll with other teams.

    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.

"Any reprinting of THE OFFICIAL RULES without the expressed written consent of the International Softball Federation is strictly prohibited." Wherever "he'' or "him" or their related pronouns may appear in this rule book either as words RULE 1 or as parts of words, they have been used for literary purposes and are meant in their generic sense (i.e. To include all humankind, or both male and female sexes). RULE 1. DEFINITIONS. – Sec. 1. ALTERED BAT. Sec. 1/DEFINITIONS/Altered Bat A bat is altered when the physical structure of a legal bat has been changed. Examples of altering a bat are: replacing the handle of a metal bat with a wooden or other type handle, inserting material inside the bat, applying excessive tape (more than two layers) to the bat grip, or painting a bat at the top or bottom for other than identification purposes. Replacing the grip with another legal grip is not considered altering the bat. A "flare" or "cone" grip attached to the bat is considered an altered bat. Engraved “ID” marking on the knob end only of a metal bat is not considered an altered bat. Engraved “ID” marking on the barrel end of a metal bat is considered an altered bat.

  • 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.
