Estimated Age Effects in Baseball
Journal of Quantitative Analysis in Sports Volume 4, Issue 1 2008 Article 1 Estimated Age Effects in Baseball Ray C. Fair, Yale University Recommended Citation: Fair, Ray C. (2008) "Estimated Age Effects in Baseball," Journal of Quantitative Analysis in Sports: Vol. 4: Iss. 1, Article 1. DOI: 10.2202/1559-0410.1074 ©2008 American Statistical Association. All rights reserved. Brought to you by | Yale University Library New Haven (Yale University Library New Haven) Authenticated | 172.16.1.226 Download Date | 3/28/12 11:34 PM Estimated Age Effects in Baseball Ray C. Fair Abstract Age effects in baseball are estimated in this paper using a nonlinear fixed-effects regression. The sample consists of all players who have played 10 or more "full-time" years in the major leagues between 1921 and 2004. Quadratic improvement is assumed up to a peak-performance age, which is estimated, and then quadratic decline after that, where the two quadratics need not be the same. Each player has his own constant term. The results show that aging effects are larger for pitchers than for batters and larger for baseball than for track and field, running, and swimming events and for chess. There is some evidence that decline rates in baseball have decreased slightly in the more recent period, but they are still generally larger than those for the other events. There are 18 batters out of the sample of 441 whose performances in the second half of their careers noticeably exceed what the model predicts they should have been. All but 3 of these players played from 1990 on. -

The Retro Sheet Strange Plays 5 Acquisitions 8 Official Publication of Retrosheet, Inc
December 27, 2000 Inside: Volume 7, Number 3-4 2000 Meeting 2 Data Proofing 4 The Retro Sheet Strange Plays 5 Acquisitions 8 Official Publication of Retrosheet, Inc. Since this is our double size year-end issue, it is fitting that I address two issues, first a comment on the SABR convention and Retrosheet annual meeting and then the most significant financial decision in Retrosheet's history. The annual meeting of Retrosheet for 2000 took place during the SABR convention in West Palm Beach in late June. We had an excellent turnout, with nearly 100 people in attendance; see David Vincent's report elsewhere in this issue for the details. In addition to the annual meeting, Retrosheet was very much in evidence throughout the convention. The research aspect of SABR saw about 30 oral research talks and another 10 poster presentations. I took great pride in noting that seven of the lectures and four of the posters had Retrosheet data as a major part of what was presented, with very nice credit given to David W. Smith us in each case. This list includes Doug Pappas, who won the award sponsored by Baseball Weekly President for the best research presentation for his talk on the history of ejections. The publicity for our organiza- tion is always appreciated, but I am even more pleased by the way our information is becoming such a standard, not only for statistical analyses, but for more traditionally historical projects as well. The financial matter arises from a decision the Board made to expand the content our web site and increase our control over it. -
