  • Estimated Age Effects in Baseball
    ESTIMATED AGE EFFECTS IN BASEBALL By Ray C. Fair October 2005 Revised March 2007 COWLES FOUNDATION DISCUSSION PAPER NO. 1536 COWLES FOUNDATION FOR RESEARCH IN ECONOMICS YALE UNIVERSITY Box 208281 New Haven, Connecticut 06520-8281 http://cowles.econ.yale.edu/ Estimated Age Effects in Baseball Ray C. Fair¤ Revised March 2007 Abstract Age effects in baseball are estimated in this paper using a nonlinear xed- 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 eld, 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 estimates from the xed-effects regressions can also be used to rank players. This ranking differs from the ranking using lifetime averages because it adjusts for the different ages at which players played. It is in effect an age-adjusted ranking.

  • A Geographical Look at Home Runs
    Academic Forum 24 2006-07 A Geographical Look at Home Runs Fred Worth, Ph.D. Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science Abstract - In this paper, we will look at career home runs for major league baseball players based on the state in which they were born. Major league baseball is known for its interesting statistics. There are multitudes of numbers and multitudes of ways of looking at the numbers. For some now-forgotten reason, I once started looking at home runs by the state of birth of the home run hitter. This chart gives home runs by state (including the District of Columbia). Consider the chart below, where “n” denotes the number of players born in that state who have hit at least one major league home run. [Note: All data comes from Lee Sinin's Sabermetric Baseball Encyclopedia .] HRs n HRs n HRs n Alabama 7985 153 Kentucky 2851 100 North Dakota 284 7 Alaska 71 5 Louisiana 4057 97 Ohio 10682 369 Arizona 876 32 Maine 262 23 Oklahoma 5090 105 Arkansas 3252 61 Maryland 4729 101 Oregon 2293 46 California 41790 894 Massachusetts 4314 217 Pennsylvania 13666 493 Colorado 414 27 Michigan 5057 149 Rhode Island 1093 30 Connecticut 1999 76 Minnesota 2505 62 South Carolina 3496 88 D.C. 600 35 Mississippi 3256 84 South Dakota 122 10 Delaware 563 18 Missouri 6882 234 Tennessee 3045 102 Florida 8984 163 Montana 198 9 Texas 11238 303 Georgia 5672 139 Nebraska 1137 46 Utah 170 11 Hawaii 202 15 Nevada 200 8 Vermont 540 17 Idaho 712 11 New Hampshire 301 20 Virginia 2624 95 Illinois 11504 393 New Jersey 3830 146 Washington 2952 68 Indiana 3601 129 New Mexico 664 9 West Virginia 1803 50 Iowa 1611 75 New York 13008 404 Wisconsin 2534 83 Kansas 1756 66 North Carolina 3507 168 Wyoming 244 6 Not surprisingly, California has both the most home runs and the most 45000 home run hitters.

  • Don't Put All Your Emotional Eggs in Prospects' Future Baskets
    Don’t put all your emotional eggs in prospects’ future baskets By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Tuesday, March 12, 2013 Let the baseball buyer beware. We’re now coming out of the part of spring train- ing where we typically take a leap into our base- ball future. The first half of Arizona and Florida drills feature each team’s top prospects working out before they’re dispatched to minor-league camps. The only aspect greater than their momentary feats against often second-line pitching in games is the media hype accompanying their very presence. We scribes and mic jockeys are even more guilty than teams themselves in building up these al- leged harbingers of better tomorrows. In reality, a prospect is just a prospect until he becomes a successful, consistent major-leaguer. He’s as much of a suspect as a prospect. The only accurate way to gauge a promising young player’s ability, and the quality of the player-development system, is when the player is well established in The Kip Wells, pictured here with the Nation- Show. als, was still bouncing around the ma- jors a decade after he was supposed to For want of better storylines of a team coming off lead a wellspring of Sox pitching pros- pects to the South Side.

    NORTHERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY How Winning Teams Become Championship Teams: a Baseball Team Architectural Analysis A Thesis Submitted to the University Honors Program In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Baccalaureate Degree With University Honors Department of Management By Zach Alesandrini DeKalb, Illinois May, 2007 ABSTRACT The purpose of this project was to understand why certain Major League Baseball teams are extremely successful during Major League Baseball's regular season, but often do not have that same success in the play-offs. Similarly, why do certain teams have tremendous success in the play-offs? This project analyzed the architecture of Major League Baseball teams that had success in the regular season to teams that had success in the post season. More specifically, the teams were separated into two groups: teams that were Regular Season champions and teams that were World Series champions. The teams were analyzed and compared on the basis of how they distributed their payroll and statistics within their rosters. The analysis showed that there were differences between the two groups. There were also many similarities between the two groups which proved that successful teams are built in many of the same ways. Finally, recommendations were made on how a team can build its roster to have not only a winning team, but a championship team. 11 TABLE OF CONTENTS Page LIST OF APPENDICES iii INTRODUCTION : 1 REVIEW OF LITERATURE 4 METHODS 17 RESULTS 32 DISCUSSION 43 CONCLUSIONS 49 BffiLIOGRAPHY 53 111 TABLE OF APPENDICES Page APPENDIX A - Team Rosters and Base Data 55 APPENDIX B - Individual Player Payroll Information and Distribution 70 APPENDIX C - IndividualPlayer Statistical Information and Distribution 86 Alesandrini 1 INTRODUCTION Every year, in late February, Major League Baseball (MLB) players report to their respective camps in Arizona or Florida for Spring Training.
