Barnhill Breaks the Single Season State Strikeout Record The Single Season State strikeout record set by Jessica Coan was achieved in 2005 and has stood now for 9 years. Coan’s 497 striekouts have been challenged, but no one has been able to get any closer than 34 away from her record, until 2014 when Kelly Barnhill would come calling! On Halloween morning 2014, Pope pitcher Kelly Barnhill wasn’t tricking anyone as she was treated to the state’s single season strikeout record when she recorded her 498th strikeout in the 7th inning of Pope’s winner’s bracket game against Brookwood. Barnhill would end the game with 499 strikeouts and would have to sit on the cusp of the 500 strikeout threshold for about 8 more hours before Pope could tee it up with Lassiter in the night cap. With Barnhill’s 1st strikeout in the Lassiter game, Kelly became the 1st pitcher in state history to strikeout 500 batters in a single season. 18 strikeouts later, Barnhill would sit at 518 strikeouts with the state championship game still to come. Barnhill would end her season with 534 strikeouts after K’ing 16 Hillgrove batters in the state championship to put her 4 game total at the State Finals in Columbus at 70 strikeouts. Breaking this record did not come easy as Barnhill had to average over 16 strikeouts a game and over 2 strikeouts per inning to overcome 497 strikeouts. In her career, Barnhill has struck out 1383 batters which is 4th most in state history. This achievement is miraculous when it is taken into consideration that Barnhill had to sit out ½ of her junior season rehabbing from a minor injury. This injury cost Barnhill approx.. 15 starts equating to roughly 200 or more strikeouts. At the beginning of the year Barnhill set out to achieve 2 goals: 1. winning the state championship, and 2. breaking the state strikeout record. Congratulations to Kelly for being able to pursue and achieve such lofty achievements. To go along with her 534 strikeouts, Barnhill posted 29 wins for the 2014 season and she had a 0.56 ERA and a .076 batting average against. Kelly averaged 16.54 K’s per game and 2.2 K’s per inning. .

The Rules of Scoring
THE RULES OF SCORING 2011 OFFICIAL BASEBALL RULES WITH CHANGES FROM LITTLE LEAGUE BASEBALL’S “WHAT’S THE SCORE” PUBLICATION INTRODUCTION These “Rules of Scoring” are for the use of those managers and coaches who want to score a Juvenile or Minor League game or wish to know how to correctly score a play or a time at bat during a Juvenile or Minor League game. These “Rules of Scoring” address the recording of individual and team actions, runs batted in, base hits and determining their value, stolen bases and caught stealing, sacrifices, put outs and assists, when to charge or not charge a fielder with an error, wild pitches and passed balls, bases on balls and strikeouts, earned runs, and the winning and losing pitcher. Unlike the Official Baseball Rules used by professional baseball and many amateur leagues, the Little League Playing Rules do not address The Rules of Scoring. However, the Little League Rules of Scoring are similar to the scoring rules used in professional baseball found in Rule 10 of the Official Baseball Rules. Consequently, Rule 10 of the Official Baseball Rules is used as the basis for these Rules of Scoring. However, there are differences (e.g., when to charge or not charge a fielder with an error, runs batted in, winning and losing pitcher). These differences are based on Little League Baseball’s “What’s the Score” booklet. Those additional rules and those modified rules from the “What’s the Score” booklet are in italics. The “What’s the Score” booklet assigns the Official Scorer certain duties under Little League Regulation VI concerning pitching limits which have not implemented by the IAB (see Juvenile League Rule 12.08.08).

An Offensive Earned-Run Average for Baseball
OPERATIONS RESEARCH, Vol. 25, No. 5, September-October 1077 An Offensive Earned-Run Average for Baseball THOMAS M. COVER Stanfortl University, Stanford, Californiu CARROLL W. KEILERS Probe fiystenzs, Sunnyvale, California (Received October 1976; accepted March 1977) This paper studies a baseball statistic that plays the role of an offen- sive earned-run average (OERA). The OERA of an individual is simply the number of earned runs per game that he would score if he batted in all nine positions in the line-up. Evaluation can be performed by hand by scoring the sequence of times at bat of a given batter. This statistic has the obvious natural interpretation and tends to evaluate strictly personal rather than team achievement. Some theoretical properties of this statistic are developed, and we give our answer to the question, "Who is the greatest hitter in baseball his- tory?" UPPOSE THAT we are following the history of a certain batter and want some index of his offensive effectiveness. We could, for example, keep track of a running average of the proportion of times he hit safely. This, of course, is the batting average. A more refined estimate ~vouldb e a running average of the total number of bases pcr official time at bat (the slugging average). We might then notice that both averages omit mention of ~valks.P erhaps what is needed is a spectrum of the running average of walks, singles, doublcs, triples, and homcruns per official time at bat. But how are we to convert this six-dimensional variable into a direct comparison of batters? Let us consider another statistic.

Welcome to FAST BALL
Welcome to FAST BALL Rules for Fast Ball are as follows: 1. Teams may be comprised of 6‐10 players. 2. Teams will bat a master batting order each inning, the order of which will change each inning thereafter. 3. Fielders should have a new starting position each inning. 4. Teams will both bat and play in the field at positions as designated on the field diagram. 5. The purpose of Fast Ball is to be faster than your opponent in fielding and running than they are at hitting and running. The goal is for players to learn basic baseball and softball skills such as fielding, running bases, field orientation, teamwork skills, and most importantly having fun! 6. Players in the field will be placed into positions as designated on the field diagram. 6 players will play in the field of play at a time. Other players will be at the 1st base line, as indicated, with a coach, the players sitting out, need to be ready to go in once the ball is fielded and either out or safe is called. 7. When a player fields a ball in the infield, that player will try to run the ball, to the hitting tee before the batter reaches 1st base. All Batters and Runners may only advance one base at a time. If a player fields a ball in the outfield, the fielding player will try to run the ball to the Coach at the pitcher’s mound before the batter reaches 1st base. If the fielder reaches the tee or coach before the batter reaches 1st base, the batter is out.

Here Comes the Strikeout
LEVEL 2.0 7573 HERE COMES THE STRIKEOUT BY LEONARD KESSLER In the spring the birds sing. The grass is green. Boys and girls run to play BASEBALL. Bobby plays baseball too. He can run the bases fast. He can slide. He can catch the ball. But he cannot hit the ball. He has never hit the ball. “Twenty times at bat and twenty strikeouts,” said Bobby. “I am in a bad slump.” “Next time try my good-luck bat,” said Willie. “Thank you,” said Bobby. “I hope it will help me get a hit.” “Boo, Bobby,” yelled the other team. “Easy out. Easy out. Here comes the strikeout.” “He can’t hit.” “Give him the fast ball.” Bobby stood at home plate and waited. The first pitch was a fast ball. “Strike one.” The next pitch was slow. Bobby swung hard, but he missed. “Strike two.” “Boo!” Strike him out!” “I will hit it this time,” said Bobby. He stepped out of the batter’s box. He tapped the lucky bat on the ground. He stepped back into the batter’s box. He waited for the pitch. It was fast ball right over the plate. Bobby swung. “STRIKE TRHEE! You are OUT!” The game was over. Bobby’s team had lost the game. “I did it again,” said Bobby. “Twenty –one time at bat. Twenty-one strikeouts. Take back your lucky bat, Willie. It was not lucky for me.” It was not a good day for Bobby. He had missed two fly balls. One dropped out of his glove.

Improving the FIP Model
Project Number: MQP-SDO-204 Improving the FIP Model A Major Qualifying Project Report Submitted to The Faculty of Worcester Polytechnic Institute In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science by Joseph Flanagan April 2014 Approved: Professor Sarah Olson Abstract The goal of this project is to improve the Fielding Independent Pitching (FIP) model for evaluating Major League Baseball starting pitchers. FIP attempts to separate a pitcher's controllable performance from random variation and the performance of his defense. Data from the 2002-2013 seasons will be analyzed and the results will be incorporated into a new metric. The new proposed model will be called jFIP. jFIP adds popups and hit by pitch to the fielding independent stats and also includes adjustments for a pitcher's defense and his efficiency in completing innings. Initial results suggest that the new metric is better than FIP at predicting pitcher ERA. Executive Summary Fielding Independent Pitching (FIP) is a metric created to measure pitcher performance. FIP can trace its roots back to research done by Voros McCracken in pursuit of winning his fantasy baseball league. McCracken discovered that there was little difference in the abilities of pitchers to prevent balls in play from becoming hits. Since individual pitchers can have greatly varying levels of effectiveness, this led him to wonder what pitchers did have control over. He found three that stood apart from the rest: strikeouts, walks, and home runs. Because these events involve only the batter and the pitcher, they are referred to as “fielding independent." FIP takes only strikeouts, walks, home runs, and innings pitched as inputs and it is scaled to earned run average (ERA) to allow for easier and more useful comparisons, as ERA has traditionally been one of the most important statistics for evaluating pitchers.

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.
