  • Sports Analytics: Maximizing Precision in Predicting Mlb Base Hits
    SPORTS ANALYTICS: MAXIMIZING PRECISION IN PREDICTING MLB BASE HITS Pedro Miguel Gonçalves André Alceo Dissertation presented as the partial requirement for obtaining a Master's degree in Information Management NOVA Information Management School Instituto Superior de Estatística e Gestão de Informação Universidade Nova de Lisboa SPORTS ANALYTICS: MAXIMIZING PRECISION IN PREDICTING MLB BASE HITS Pedro Miguel Gonçalves André Alceo Dissertation presented as the partial requirement for obtaining a Master's degree in Information Management, Specialization Knowledge Management and Business Intelligence Advisor: Roberto André Pereira Henriques February 2019 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The completion of this master thesis was the culmination of my work accompanied by the endless support of the people that helped me during this journey. This paper would feel emptier without somewhat expressing my gratitude towards those who were always by my side. Firstly, I would like to thank my supervisor Roberto Henriques for helping me find my passion for data mining and for giving me the guidelines necessary to finish this paper. I would not have chosen this area if not for you teaching data mining during my master’s program. To my parents João and Licínia for always supporting my ideas, being patient and for along my life giving the means to be where I am right now. My sister Rita, her husband João and my nephew Afonso, whose presence was always felt and helped providing good energies throughout this campaign. To my training partner Rodrigo who was always a great company, sometimes an inspiration but in the end always a great friend. My colleagues Bento, Marta and Rita who made my master’s journey unique and very enjoyable.

  • Sabermetrics: the Past, the Present, and the Future
    Sabermetrics: The Past, the Present, and the Future Jim Albert February 12, 2010 Abstract This article provides an overview of sabermetrics, the science of learn- ing about baseball through objective evidence. Statistics and baseball have always had a strong kinship, as many famous players are known by their famous statistical accomplishments such as Joe Dimaggio’s 56-game hitting streak and Ted Williams’ .406 batting average in the 1941 baseball season. We give an overview of how one measures performance in batting, pitching, and fielding. In baseball, the traditional measures are batting av- erage, slugging percentage, and on-base percentage, but modern measures such as OPS (on-base percentage plus slugging percentage) are better in predicting the number of runs a team will score in a game. Pitching is a harder aspect of performance to measure, since traditional measures such as winning percentage and earned run average are confounded by the abilities of the pitcher teammates. Modern measures of pitching such as DIPS (defense independent pitching statistics) are helpful in isolating the contributions of a pitcher that do not involve his teammates. It is also challenging to measure the quality of a player’s fielding ability, since the standard measure of fielding, the fielding percentage, is not helpful in understanding the range of a player in moving towards a batted ball. New measures of fielding have been developed that are useful in measuring a player’s fielding range. Major League Baseball is measuring the game in new ways, and sabermetrics is using this new data to find better mea- sures of player performance.

  • Understanding Advanced Baseball Stats: Hitting
    Understanding Advanced Baseball Stats: Hitting “Baseball is like church. Many attend few understand.” ~ Leo Durocher Durocher, a 17-year major league vet and Hall of Fame manager, sums up the game of baseball quite brilliantly in the above quote, and it’s pretty ridiculous how much fans really don’t understand about the game of baseball that they watch so much. This holds especially true when you start talking about baseball stats. Sure, most people can tell you what a home run is and that batting average is important, but once you get past the basic stats, the rest is really uncharted territory for most fans. But fear not! This is your crash course in advanced baseball stats, explained in plain English, so that even the most rudimentary of fans can become knowledgeable in the mysterious world of baseball analytics, or sabermetrics as it is called in the industry. Because there are so many different stats that can be covered, I’m just going to touch on the hitting stats in this article and we can save the pitching ones for another piece. So without further ado – baseball stats! The Slash Line The baseball “slash line” typically looks like three different numbers rounded to the thousandth decimal place that are separated by forward slashes (hence the name). We’ll use Mike Trout‘s 2014 slash line as an example; this is what a typical slash line looks like: .287/.377/.561 The first of those numbers represents batting average. While most fans know about this stat, I’ll touch on it briefly just to make sure that I have all of my bases covered (baseball pun intended).

  • 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).

  • Name of the Game: Do Statistics Confirm the Labels of Professional Baseball Eras?
    NAME OF THE GAME: DO STATISTICS CONFIRM THE LABELS OF PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL ERAS? by Mitchell T. Woltring A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Leisure and Sport Management Middle Tennessee State University May 2013 Thesis Committee: Dr. Colby Jubenville Dr. Steven Estes ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would not be where I am if not for support I have received from many important people. First and foremost, I would like thank my wife, Sarah Woltring, for believing in me and supporting me in an incalculable manner. I would like to thank my parents, Tom and Julie Woltring, for always supporting and encouraging me to make myself a better person. I would be remiss to not personally thank Dr. Colby Jubenville and the entire Department at Middle Tennessee State University. Without Dr. Jubenville convincing me that MTSU was the place where I needed to come in order to thrive, I would not be in the position I am now. Furthermore, thank you to Dr. Elroy Sullivan for helping me run and understand the statistical analyses. Without your help I would not have been able to undertake the study at hand. Last, but certainly not least, thank you to all my family and friends, which are far too many to name. You have all helped shape me into the person I am and have played an integral role in my life. ii ABSTRACT A game defined and measured by hitting and pitching performances, baseball exists as the most statistical of all sports (Albert, 2003, p.

  • "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.

  • Baseball U Maryland Defensive Philosophy
    Baseball U Maryland Defensive Philosophy Defense LONG TOSS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE Individual skill work is a priority GET BETTER everyday Team Defensive Concepts: We will be fundamentally sound defensively- both physically and mentally. 1. Win the Free Base War : BB,HBP, errors, extra bases, mental mistakes 2. Prevent the Big Inning : 3 or more runs 3. Keep Double Play a pitch away (keep runners at 1B) 4. Communicate, Communicate, Communicate Goal: .970 fielding percentage (relates to 1 per game) - majority of errors should be IF play (3b,SS, 2b)- 1B, C, P, and OF cannot attribute to errors. Catching a. Catcher needs to be the most athletic guy on the field…VERY TOUGH b. Catcher has to be a LEADER…MUST BE VOCAL…confidence is key a. MUST be constantly communicating the defense b. MUST know each pitcher and situation c. Before the 1st pitch is thrown, get to know the umpire-“Good Morning, my name is …..” d. Calling Pitches: a. When giving signs, they must be hidden b. Be consistent when calling pitches (i.e. 1-FB, 2 CB, etc.)(Be consistent with a runner on base (i.e. 2nd sign, etc.) c. Know what the Pitchers BEST pitch is THAT DAY d. Avoid tendencies (i.e. every 0-2 count, throw CB) e. Defensive tenets: a.
