  • Weekly Notes 072817
    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES FRIDAY, JULY 28, 2017 BLACKMON WORKING TOWARD HISTORIC SEASON On Sunday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Coors Field, Colorado Rockies All-Star outfi elder Charlie Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and his 24th home run of the season. With the round-tripper, Blackmon recorded his 57th extra-base hit on the season, which include 20 doubles, 13 triples and his aforementioned 24 home runs. Pacing the Majors in triples, Blackmon trails only his teammate, All-Star Nolan Arenado for the most extra-base hits (60) in the Majors. Blackmon is looking to become the fi rst Major League player to log at least 20 doubles, 20 triples and 20 home runs in a single season since Curtis Granderson (38-23-23) and Jimmy Rollins (38-20-30) both accomplished the feat during the 2007 season. Since 1901, there have only been seven 20-20-20 players, including Granderson, Rollins, Hall of Famers George Brett (1979) and Willie Mays (1957), Jeff Heath (1941), Hall of Famer Jim Bottomley (1928) and Frank Schulte, who did so during his MVP-winning 1911 season. Charlie would become the fi rst Rockies player in franchise history to post such a season. If the season were to end today, Blackmon’s extra-base hit line (20-13-24) has only been replicated by 34 diff erent players in MLB history with Rollins’ 2007 season being the most recent. It is the fi rst stat line of its kind in Rockies franchise history. Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig is the only player in history to post such a line in four seasons (1927-28, 30-31).

    MINOR LEAGUE PRESIDENTS compiled by Tony Baseballs www.minorleaguebaseballs.com This document deals only with professional minor leagues (both independent and those affiliated with Major League Baseball) since the foundation of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues (popularly known as Minor League Baseball, or MiLB) in 1902. Collegiate Summer leagues, semi-pro leagues, and all other non-professional leagues are excluded, but encouraged! The information herein was compiled from several sources including the Encyclopedia of Minor League Baseball (2nd Ed.), Baseball Reference.com, Wikipedia, official league websites (most of which can be found under the umbrella of milb.com), and a great source for defunct leagues, Indy League Graveyard. I have no copyright on anything here, it's all public information, but it's never all been in one place before, in this layout. Copyrights belong to their respective owners, including but not limited to MLB, MiLB, and the independent leagues. The first section will list active leagues. Some have historical predecessors that will be found in the next section. LEAGUE ASSOCIATIONS The modern minor league system traces its roots to the formation of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues (NAPBL) in 1902, an umbrella organization that established league classifications and a salary structure in an agreement with Major League Baseball.

Manfred Jr. Commissioner of Baseball Major League Baseball 245 Park A venue, 31st Floor New York, NY 10167 Dear Commissioner Manfred: We write to express our opposition to Major League Baseball's recent proposal to eliminate the Major League affiliations of dozens of Minor League Baseball clubs, including the Lowell Spinners club, the Class A Short Season New York-Penn League affiliate ofthe Boston Red Sox. This scheme would cause significant economic damage to the City of Lowell, eliminate an important piece of the community's cultural footprint, and disappoint baseball fans of all ages­ all while doing long-term damage to the game's ability to keep and grow its fan base. For over 20 years, the Lowell Spinners have brought fun and entertainment to baseball fans across the City of Lowell, the Merrimack Valley region, and the entire Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The team's important affiliation with the Red Sox, and its proximity to Boston and New Hampshire, have allowed Red Sox fans from all over the region to enjoy a Spinners game and see players that will move on to play for the Red Sox and other Major League Baseball teams. The Lowell Spinners provide an affordable family outing and have remained a strong partner for the entire community. The team's name pays homage to the City's history as the home of the American Industrial Revolution, and the mascot, the Canaligator, references Lowell's six miles of canals. 1 In addition to the local cultural importance of the Lowell Spinners, the club has maintained a vital economic partnership with the City.

    The Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League (PGCBL), upstate New York’s premier summer wood bat league, played its seventh season in 2017. Every year since its inception in 2011, the PGCBL has sent players to the pros and has had several alumni selected in the MLB Draft with each year. Here is a list of former PGCBL players that are currently in professional baseball, listed by their current level.

  • An Exploratory Study of Minor League Baseball Statistics
    An Exploratory Study of Minor League Baseball Statistics Gabriel Chandler and Guy Stevens Department of Mathematics, Pomona College, Claremont, CA 91711 Abstract We consider the problem of projecting future success of Minor League baseball players at each level of the farm system. Using tree based methods, in particular random forests, we consider which statistics are most correlated with Major League success, how Major League teams use these statistics dif- ferently in handling prospects, and how prior belief in a players ability, mea- sured through draft position, is used throughout a players Minor League ca- reer. We find that roughly the 18th round prospect corresponds to being draft neutral for a team, at which point teams essentially make decisions based strictly on performance. We use for our data all position players drafted be- tween 1999 and 2002. 1 Introduction Whether a prospect ultimately has success in Major League Baseball (MLB) is a difficult achievement to predict; sometimes, individuals who appear on the fast track to success never make the highest level, while relatively unknown players surprise everyone and become su- perstars. Brien Taylor and Steve Chilcott were both the top overall draft pick in their respective drafts, yet neither ever played in a single Major League game. On the other hand, Mike Piazza, considered one of the greatest catchers of all time, was drafted in the 62nd round (for perspective, the 2012 draft consisted of only 40 rounds). Almost all prospects, obtained as high school or collegiate ath- letes through the Rule 4 Amateur Draft each June, spend time in the Minor Leagues (MiLB), honing their skills and adjusting to the lifestyle and quality of competition in professional baseball.
