Publicado por: Raiko Martín Como suele suceder, el calendario clasificatorio se extenderá más allá de lo programado, por lo que las capacidades en el tren a la segunda parte de la actual campaña beisbolera no se deben completar antes de los primeros días de diciembre. No obstante, a las novenas de Ciego de Ávila e Industriales ya se unió la de Granma, y a este pelotón pudiera sumarse la de Holguín si gana uno de los tres partidos que le restan a partir de hoy en el establo de los Alazanes. Los Cachorros continuaron este sábado su impresionante cierre de campaña completando la barrida sobre Santiago de Cuba, en duelo reprogramado a causa de la lluvia. En el Guillermón Moncada indómito, los visitantes castigaron temprano al internacional Danny Betancourt, mientras que Ernesto Blanco y Luis Ángel Gómez unían su talento para llenar de ceros a las Avispas. También pudieran apuntarse para la travesía los matanceros, sobre todo si logran arrollar a Artemisa en sus próximos compromisos.

  • Estimated Age Effects in Baseball
    ESTIMATED AGE EFFECTS IN BASEBALL By Ray C. Fair October 2005 Revised March 2007 COWLES FOUNDATION DISCUSSION PAPER NO. 1536 COWLES FOUNDATION FOR RESEARCH IN ECONOMICS YALE UNIVERSITY Box 208281 New Haven, Connecticut 06520-8281 http://cowles.econ.yale.edu/ Estimated Age Effects in Baseball Ray C. Fair¤ Revised March 2007 Abstract Age effects in baseball are estimated in this paper using a nonlinear xed- 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 eld, 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. The estimates from the xed-effects regressions can also be used to rank players. This ranking differs from the ranking using lifetime averages because it adjusts for the different ages at which players played. It is in effect an age-adjusted ranking.
