  • Leveraging Pitcher-Batter Matchups for Optimal Game Strategy
    Leveraging Pitcher-Batter Matchups for Optimal Game Strategy Paper Track: Baseball Paper ID: 13603 Willie K. Harrison∗ and John L. Salmony ∗Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering, Brigham Young University yDepartment of Mechanical Engineering, Brigham Young University 1. Introduction Recent play in Major League Baseball (MLB) has showcased many attempts to achieve an advantage through smart selection of pitcher-batter matchups. One such case in the 2018 postseason had the Los Angeles Dodgers’ manager, Dave Roberts, selecting an all right-handed batting lineup to face both Chris Sale and David Price in games one and two of the World Series. Both pitchers are left-handed, and the choice certainly tailors to the well-known lefty-righty handedness matchup strategy [10]. Further- more, this choice was inline with the platoon system that the Dodgers had employed throughout the 2018 regular season [15], often starting all right-handed batting lineups against left-handed starters, seemingly with great success. Although attempts have been made to optimize pitcher-batter matchup strategies in the sabermet- rics [2, 7, 9] literature (e.g., [5, 6]), these approaches have tended to apply averages of large data sets in an attempt to ��ine tune some matchup data. For example, Hirotsu and Wright used the handedness (i.e., left handed or right handed) of both the pitcher and the batter to adjust average batting statistics in an attempt to optimize the choice of pitcher substitution [6]. In this approach, if a batter’s dominant hand is opposite to that of a pitcher’s dominant hand, then the offensive statistics of the batter are as- sumed to be enhanced slightly for that speciic matchup.
