  • Combining Radar and Optical Sensor Data to Measure Player Value in Baseball
    sensors Article Combining Radar and Optical Sensor Data to Measure Player Value in Baseball Glenn Healey Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University of California, Irvine, CA 92617, USA; [email protected] Abstract: Evaluating a player’s talent level based on batted balls is one of the most important and difficult tasks facing baseball analysts. An array of sensors has been installed in Major League Baseball stadiums that capture seven terabytes of data during each game. These data increase interest among spectators, but also can be used to quantify the performances of players on the field. The weighted on base average cube model has been used to generate reliable estimates of batter performance using measured batted-ball parameters, but research has shown that running speed is also a determinant of batted-ball performance. In this work, we used machine learning methods to combine a three-dimensional batted-ball vector measured by Doppler radar with running speed measurements generated by stereoscopic optical sensors. We show that this process leads to an improved model for the batted-ball performances of players. Keywords: Bayesian; baseball analytics; machine learning; radar; intrinsic values; forecasting; sensors; batted ball; statistics; wOBA cube 1. Introduction The expanded presence of sensor systems at sporting events has enhanced the enjoy- ment of fans and supported a number of new applications [1–4]. Measuring skill on batted balls is of fundamental importance in quantifying player value in baseball. Traditional measures for batted-ball skill have been based on outcomes, but these measures have a low Citation: Healey, G.

This book is dedicated to him and his trainer, Wilson Pitts. It is a compilation of all that I have learned throughout my eighteen years of boxing training combined along with techniques from both men. Wilson not only taught and trained Peter Hobbie, but also the boxing pride of Richmond, Virginia, Carl “Piggy” Hutchins. Wilson lived in Philadelphia and studied boxing at Joe Frazier’s gym in the 1970s. It was there that he learned and embraced the techniques of the legendary trainer Eddie Futch. By watching and eventually being accepted as a student of the sweet science by trainers such as George Benton, he was able to learn boxing tactics and knowledge that are unfortunately becoming harder to find as time passes.

    AN EXPECTED OUTCOME FRAMEWORK FOR EVALUATING BATTING AND PITCHING PERFORMANCE IN MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WITH APPLICATIONS TO THE "JUICED BALL" AND THE "FLY BALL REVOLUTION" by TAYLOR SMITH (Under the Direction of L. Jason Anastasopoulos) ABSTRACT I utilize Major League Baseball Statcast data from 2015-2017 to build batted ball classifiers using state-of-the-art gradient boosting trees in conjunction with hyperparameter optimization techniques. Visual and numeric summaries of the model results are used to glean insights into batted balls in MLB. Further, the model framework is used to create new batting and pitching metrics with demonstrated advantages over previously used metrics. Using the batted ball classifiers and the introduced metrics, I investigate the "Juiced Ball" and "Fly Ball Revolution" phenomena in MLB, quantify the respective impacts of both phenomena, and present a manner for evaluating batter and pitcher performance across different ball environments.
