  • A Geographic Analysis of Professional Baseball's First-Year Player Signings, 1965-1977
    A GEOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS OF PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL'S FIRST-YEAR PLAYER SIGNINGS, 1965-1977 By MARK WILSON ,,RUPERT Bachelor of Arts Ohio State University Columbus, Ohio 1974 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE May, 1980 \~~'S~S \C\ io ~C\1451 Q.ic~· 1- A GEOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS OF PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL 1 S FIRST-YEAR PLAYER SIGNINGS, 1965- 1977 Thesis Approved: Thesis Advi & Dean of the Graduate College 1057~29 ii PREFACE This project was initiated in December, 1977 when Dr. John F. Rooney handed me a carton of papers dealing with contemporary profes­ sional baseball player signings. My original plan was to analyze only a portion of the data for a paper to be presented the following April at the annual meeting of the Association of American Geographers. I became so engrossed with the subject that I soon decided to thoroughly examine the entire data set for a masters thesis. A two-month tour of many of the major league ballparks during the summer of 1978 further aroused my curiosity for the subject. The intertwining of baseball and geography has since become a personal labor of love. It is hoped that others might find this thesis interesting and informative. I must thank Dr. Rooney for making the data available and for his invaluable expertise as my major adviser. Thanks are also extended to Dr. Stephen W. Tweedie and Dr. George 0. Carney for their interest and timely advice. I am indebted to Gayle Maxwell and her cartography staff for their professional work on the maps included in this thesis.

(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.

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.

  • Weekly Notes 062118
    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES THURSDAY, JUNE 21, 2018 EVERYTHING BUT THE WIN On Monday night against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field, New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom earned his fifth win of the season after allowing one earned run across 8.0 innings of work. deGrom, who is expected to make his next start tomorrow against the Los Angeles Dodgers, enters play today in the midst of a seven-start streak in which he has tossed at least 7.0 innings without permitting more than two earned runs. The 30-year-old deGrom, who also posted a streak of seven such starts during his All-Star 2015 campaign, is one of just four hurlers in franchise history to log such a streak in a single season, joining Hall of Famer Tom Seaver (1969, 71, 72, 73), Dwight Gooden (1985) and Jerry Koosman (1968-69). Jacob's victory in Colorado on Monday night snapped a streak in which the right- hander did not earn a win despite tossing at least 7.0 innings and not allowing more than two earned runs in five straight starts. The Stetson University product became just the 10th pitcher since 1912 to log a stretch of five such starts in the same season, and the first since Jeff Samardzija in 2014. Joe Magrane holds the innocuous record with a streak of seven such starts in 1988, the season in which he won the NL ERA title with a 2.18 mark on the season. Below is a table detailing each starter's tough-luck stretch.
