Chicago Cubs Organization 1 Dear Midwest League Fans: On behalf of Minor League Baseball and the Midwest League, I want to welcome you to the ballpark for another exciting season of Minor League Baseball! The 2019 season will see the opening of new ballparks in Amarillo, Texas; Las Vegas, Nevada; and Fayetteville, North Carolina, and based on the success of Minor League Baseball’s Hispanic/Latinx fan engagement initiative, Copa de la Diversión, that program will expand from 33 to 72 teams as our teams expand their efforts to be more representative of their communities. While you may see some new logos and team identities this spring and summer, what remains the same is the quality, affordable family entertainment in a clean and safe environment that is a staple of Minor League Baseball across the country. With 20 leagues and more than 250 clubs, Minor League Baseball is where you will find the next generation of baseball’s brightest stars on their way to the big leagues. You just might be watching the next Kris Bryant in South Bend tonight, the next Mike Trout in Cedar Rapids or the next Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in Lansing! The Midwest League has a long history of clubs making a difference in their communities while also providing a great product on the field and in the stands. The Midwest League was the most charitable of our leagues when it comes to giving back to its communities as the 16 clubs made gift in‐kind contributions of over $6 million in 2018! Minor League Baseball also remains an integral part of the sports landscape, and of the communities it represents. Last season, Minor League Baseball’s philanthropic endeavors included donating over $40.5 million in cash and value in kind contributions to local and national charities. We are proud to support our National Charity Partners: The ALS Association, the American Cancer Society, Big Brothers Big Sisters, The BairFind Foundation and Ed Randall’s Fans for the Cure, as well as other worthy initiatives and causes. In 2018, a remarkable 40.4 MILLION fans attended Minor League Baseball games and I am certain that with your continued support, Minor League Baseball will prosper for many years to come. As stewards and fans of the game, it is our responsibility to build, nurture and protect this great game for the future generations of fans. Thank you, again, for your passionate support of Minor League Baseball, and particularly the Midwest League. I wish you a healthy and enjoyable season of baseball. Let's play ball!

  • Designated Hitters and Subesquent Team Scoring
    DESIGNATED HITTERS AND SUBESQUENT TEAM SCORING PERFORMANCE IN MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL A RESEARCH PAPER SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE MASTER OF SCIENCE BY SARAH E. CHO DR. HOLMES FINCH – ADVISOR BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, INDIANA JULY 2020 2 ABSTRACT RESEARCH PAPER: Designated Hitters and Subsequent Team Scoring Performance in Major League Baseball STUDENT: Sarah E. Cho DEGREE: Master of Science COLLEGE: Teachers College DATE: July 2020 PAGES: 27 The Designated Hitter (DH) rule in Major League Baseball (MLB) is a topic of great debate. In the National League (NL), all players take a turn at bat. However, in the American League (AL), a DH usually bats for the pitcher. MLB pitchers typically do not have strong batting averages. The DH rule was created to increase a team’s offense. This study looked at whether there is an apparent difference between the AL and the NL. In theory, a DH will lead to more hits, more runs, and therefore a higher scoring game. This study looked at the average runs per game and total home runs for the AL and NL during the 1998 through 2018 regular seasons. Since the assumptions of parametric multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) were not met, a nonparametric analysis was used. The permutation test for multivariate means results showed an apparent difference between the two leagues (p < .05). A quadratic discriminant analysis (QDA) was used as a follow up test and showed home runs as the variable driving the difference between the two leagues. Therefore, the AL has better scoring performance than the NL.
