  • "What Raw Statistics Have the Greatest Effect on Wrc+ in Major League Baseball in 2017?" Gavin D
    1 "What raw statistics have the greatest effect on wRC+ in Major League Baseball in 2017?" Gavin D. Sanford University of Minnesota Duluth Honors Capstone Project 2 Abstract Major League Baseball has different statistics for hitters, fielders, and pitchers. The game has followed the same rules for over a century and this has allowed for statistical comparison. As technology grows, so does the game of baseball as there is more areas of the game that people can monitor and track including pitch speed, spin rates, launch angle, exit velocity and directional break. The website QOPBaseball.com is a newer website that attempts to correctly track every pitches horizontal and vertical break and grade it based on these factors (Wilson, 2016). Fangraphs has statistics on the direction players hit the ball and what percentage of the time. The game of baseball is all about quantifying players and being able give a value to their contributions. Sabermetrics have given us the ability to do this in far more depth. Weighted Runs Created Plus (wRC+) is an offensive stat which is attempted to quantify a player’s total offensive value (wRC and wRC+, Fangraphs). It is Era and park adjusted, meaning that the park and year can be compared without altering the statistic further. In this paper, we look at what 2018 statistics have the greatest effect on an individual player’s wRC+. Keywords: Sabermetrics, Econometrics, Spin Rates, Baseball, Introduction Major League Baseball has been around for over a century has given awards out for almost 100 years. The way that these awards are given out is based on statistics accumulated over the season.

    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).

    Volume 38, No. 2 Quarterly of the Alaska Historical Society Summer 2010 Message from the President Katie Ringsmuth Northern Pastime: Linking People, Places and the Past “We have observed several parties of youngsters playing base, a certain game of ball …Let us go forth awhile and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our close rooms …the game of ball is glorious.” Walt Whitman ersonally for me, summertime in Alaska evokes Africa, North, Central and South America, Asia, the Pacific memories of hiking trails lined with fireweed, Islands, and Australia. Indeed, as Burns put it, “the story of passing salmon-choked streams, and yes, playing the Game is the story of America.” baseball. I met my husband playing softball on the parkP strip, and for Mother’s Day this year we took our boys, Ben and Tom, to watch the Seattle Mariners at Safeco Field. Although at age 40 “the Kid” was only batting a buck-eighty-four, we wanted the boys to be able to tell their kids that they once saw Ken Griffey Jr.—one of the Game’s greats—swing the bat during what is likely his last season. Put simply, we wanted to give our boys a lasting memory. It’s hard for a historian not to love baseball, for our national pastime is steeped in tradition. In his PBS documentary Baseball, Ken Burns showed us that baseball not only commemorates history, but has also shaped it. As the Game’s popularity soared around the turn of the twentieth century, the shared act of being a spectator of the sport helped teach newly-arrived immigrants how to be Americans.
