Method Our mission to operationalize the comparison of base stealing ability among players of different ages brought us to the use of two statistics, these being Stolen Base Percentage (SBP) and Stolen Base Ratio (SBR). SBP accounts for stolen bases over total steal attempts (SB/(SB+CS)), whike SBR is simply Stolen Bases over Caught Stealing instances. In order to get a reasonable amount of data, we limited our data range to the years between 1970 and 2015. data("Batting") data("Master") Batting.Age <- left_join(Batting,Master) ## Joining by: "playerID" 1 Batting.Age$age.corr <- ifelse(Batting.Age$birthMonth<7,0,-1) Batting.Age %>% filter(yearID>1970) %>% filter(SB>0,CS>0) %>% mutate(age=yearID-birthYear+age.corr) %>% mutate(StealPct=((SB)/(SB+CS))) %>% select(SB,CS,nameFirst,nameLast,age,StealPct) %>% filter(age>19) %>% filter(age<41)

  • Willis Returns to Be Tribe's Pitching Coach by Jordan Bastian / MLB.Com
    Willis returns to be Tribe's pitching coach By Jordan Bastian / MLB.com | 2:04 PM ET + 13 COMMENTS CLEVELAND -- The Indians have the ability to return with virtually the same rotation and bullpen next season, and the goal will remain to contend for a World Series crown. That made familiarity an important attribute when it came to filling Cleveland's pitching-coach opening. On Thursday, the Indians turned to a recognizable name for the job, bringing back Carl Willis to fill the role vacated by Mickey Callaway's move to become the Mets' new manager. The hiring of Willis comes just three days after Callaway donned blue pinstripes in his news conference at Citi Field in New York. "We started looking not just at names, but at attributes," Indians manager Terry Francona said. "And then Carl's name kept coming up. So, we moved quickly, because there was a lot of competition out there for pitching coaches. And the fact that he knows so many of our pitchers, he knows our organization, is a huge bonus. He'll hit the ground running." This will be Willis' third stint with the Indians, who most recently employed him as their Triple-A Columbus pitching coach in 2015 before the Red Sox hired him to be their Major League pitching coach that May. Willis also spent time with Cleveland as a special assistant in 2014, giving the organization an additional voice during Spring Training and throughout the season. Willis spent seven years as the Tribe's big league pitching coach under manager Eric Wedge from 2003-09.
