Every Single Rep Matters - Infield Play Danny Marcuzzo The Great Debate Take out Subjectivity Subjectivity- The quality of being based on or influenced by personal feelings, tastes, or opinions. Take Out Subjectivity What is the goal of Golf? 66 beat 67 everyday It doesn’t matter how it goes in Take out Subjectivity Take out Subjectivity Take out Subjectivity Lowest Score Wins Everytime!! What would golf be without a hole? What does this have to do with baseball? What Do Coaches and Players Care About? Scoreboard What Do Coaches and Players Care About? Stat Sheet What Do Coaches and Players Care About? The game is the ultimate test of what we do in practice. But do you score practice like you do in a game? Take out Subjectivity Things Coaches Say After Practice – “Joey looked good today” “We got better” “We got a lot of reps today” “Joey made every play” Take out Subjectivity Things Players Say After Practice – “I had my best day yet” “I hit the ball hard today” “I didn’t miss a ground ball” How do you know if that is true? TRACK IT! Live in the Objective World Objective - noun Something that one's efforts or actions are intended to attain or accomplish; purpose; goal; target: adjective Not influenced by personal feelings, interpretations, or prejudice; based on facts; unbiased: Practice Like You Want to Play Day, Week, Month, Semester, All-Time Infield Play 4.0/4.2 Practice Like You Want to Play Post it – Bring it into their world Be Consistent! The information means nothing to them if they don’t know about it Get the Most Out of the Reps You Do Take If you are going to take a rep, it better matter. If not, you are playing golf without a hole. Practice Like You Want to Play Does it need to be this complicated? Assess your situation Get the Most Out of the Reps You Do Take Is what I’m tracking translating to the game? TRACK THAT TOO!!

Guide to Softball Rules and Basics
Guide to Softball Rules and Basics History Softball was created by George Hancock in Chicago in 1887. The game originated as an indoor variation of baseball and was eventually converted to an outdoor game. The popularity of softball has grown considerably, both at the recreational and competitive levels. In fact, not only is women’s fast pitch softball a popular high school and college sport, it was recognized as an Olympic sport in 1996. Object of the Game To score more runs than the opposing team. The team with the most runs at the end of the game wins. Offense & Defense The primary objective of the offense is to score runs and avoid outs. The primary objective of the defense is to prevent runs and create outs. Offensive strategy A run is scored every time a base runner touches all four bases, in the sequence of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and home. To score a run, a batter must hit the ball into play and then run to circle the bases, counterclockwise. On offense, each time a player is at-bat, she attempts to get on base via hit or walk. A hit occurs when she hits the ball into the field of play and reaches 1st base before the defense throws the ball to the base, or gets an extra base (2nd, 3rd, or home) before being tagged out. A walk occurs when the pitcher throws four balls. It is rare that a hitter can round all the bases during her own at-bat; therefore, her strategy is often to get “on base” and advance during the next at-bat.

The Stolen Base Is an Integral Part of the Game of Baseball
THE STOLEN BASE by Lindsay S. Parr A thesis submitted to the Faculty and the Board of Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines in partial fulﬁllment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science (Applied Mathematics and Statistics). Golden, Colorado Date Signed: Lindsay S. Parr Signed: Dr. William C. Navidi Thesis Advisor Golden, Colorado Date Signed: Dr. Willy A. Hereman Professor and Head Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics ii ABSTRACT The stolen base is an integral part of the game of baseball. As it is frequent that a player is in a situation where he could attempt to steal a base, it is important to determine when he should try to steal in order to obtain more wins per season for his team. I used a sample of games during the 2012 and 2013 Major League Baseball seasons to see how often players stole in given scenarios based on number of outs, pickoff attempts, runs until the end of the inning, left or right-handed batter/pitcher, run differential, and inning. New stolen base strategies were created using the percentage of opportunities attempted and the percentage of successful attempts for each scenario in the sample, a formula introduced by Bill James for batter/pitcher match-up, and run expectancy. After writing a program in R to simulate baseball games with the ability to change the stolen base strategy, I compared new strategies to the current strategy used to see if they would increase each Major League Baseball team’s average number of wins per season. I found that when using a strategy where a team steals 80% of the time it increases its run expectancy and 20% of the time that it does not, the average number of wins per season increases for a vast majority of teams over using the current strategy.

Scorekeeping TUTORIAL for FIRST TIME MSLL SCOREKEEPERS in AA/AAA Thanks for Volunteering to Score This Guide Is Intended to Make the Task Easy
Scorekeeping TUTORIAL FOR FIRST TIME MSLL SCOREKEEPERS IN AA/AAA Thanks for volunteering to score This guide is intended to make the task easy. We’ve tried to be comprehensive while also simplifying the most basic scorekeeping skills. The Scorebook is important. It is the official game record and is used to record every pitch, at bat, and defensive play. The book is used during the game to confirm who is next to bat, how many pitches the pitcher has thrown and where runners were on base before the last play. The book may be used by coaches after the game to calculate player and/or team statistics. Keeping score means that you fill an important role both for your team and the league. It will also help you will deepen your understanding of the game and learn something new every week. To be honest, you will need to really pay attention to the game. If you’re a social butterfly in the stands, then keeping score may not be for you. Who Keeps Score? Both teams keep score for both teams at every game The home team is the “official” scorekeeper The home/visitor scorekeeper should work together to ensure they have the same score Both teams also need to keep a pitch count This is done by a separate volunteer using the Pitch count book Setting up the Scorebook Use a separate page for each team At the top of each page enter: Team Name Check the Home or Visitors box Enter the field where the game is played Enter the game date Enter the game start time At the top of the page enter the Visitor team in the “V” box and the home team in the “H”
