  • Maryland State Association of Baseball Coaches (MSABC) in 1981 and Was the First MSABC President
    Maryland State Association of Baseball Coaches 1982-2003 2004- Updated 11February 2017 Table of Contents History .............................................................................. 2 Team Rosters & Game Results ......................................... 3 All-Stars .......................................................................... 34 All-Stars by Schools ....................................................... 49 All-Stars in the Majors .................................................... 61 1 History The idea of a state-wide all-star baseball game featuring high school seniors from public, private, and parochial schools representing every district in Maryland was conceived by former Arundel High School coach Bernie Walter, who also helped create the Maryland State Association of Baseball Coaches (MSABC) in 1981 and was the first MSABC President. Sponsorship of the game was obtained from Crown Central Petroleum Company. A spokesman for Crown at the time, Brooks Robinson, the Hall of Fame third baseman for the Orioles, became honorary chairman of the game. The first annual Crown High School All-Star game was played in 1982 at Memorial Stadium between teams of high school seniors representing the North and the South. Growing in stature every year, the venue for the game shifted to Oriole Park at Camden Yards when it opened in 1992. In 2004, when the game lost the sponsorship of Crown, Brooks Robinson, as he had done so many times for the Orioles with a sparkling defensive play at third, saved the game. He sought out Joe Geier, a longtime friend, baseball fan, and Mount St. Joseph graduate, and the Geier Financial Group agreed to sponsor the game. Fittingly, the game was renamed the Brooks Robinson Senior High School All-Star Game. The game is usually played on a Sunday after an Orioles’ game following the conclusion of State tournament play in late May.

  • BULLPEN CHATTER Ups in MLB When He Pitched out of the Bullpen in Baltimore
    BULLPEN CHATTER ups in MLB when he pitched out of the bullpen in Baltimore. “I tell our young prospects to throw the change‐up even harder than the fastball. We long‐toss change‐ups, too, just to build the habit of throwing it harder than the fastball.” He waited for me to look puzzled, then continued with his explanation. “You know what happens with young pitchers when they try to throw too hard? Their fastball loses velocity. Why does it lose velocity? Because they clench up and pitch with a stiff wrist. So I tell them to throw the change‐up with that kind of macho. They learn to put more into it, and the pitch travels slower. They also learn the difference between throwing with a relaxed wrist and a stiff one.” Pete was a southpaw, and he talked about There are truths about pitching that sound how southpaws tend to develop into smarter contradictory. Here are a few… pitchers because, typically, they don’t throw as hard as righties. He mentioned Whitey Ford and • You add power to your pitching motion Warren Spahn – two Hall of Famers that Pete by slowing it down rather than got to know in his playing days – and he speeding it up mentioned Tom Glavine, Francisco Liriano and • You pitch as much with your legs as Jamie Moyer, too, the ageless Phillies’ lefty. with your arm “Moyer’s fastball clocks in the low 80’s and • Throwing hard requires a firm grip and I’ve seen him throw a change‐up as slow as 68 a relaxed wrist mph.” Richert chuckles and shakes his head.

Which Baseball Statistic Is the Most Important When Determining Team Success? Abstract The way to measure individual productivity in any working environment is to track individual performance in a working atmosphere. Individuals who work on a commission-based salary have more incentive to work harder, thus more efficiently. The best industry which monitors productivity is clearly the game of baseball, due to its uncanny ability to measure productivity through the countless statistics that are available.

It has been heavily researched in the academic community and among quantitative analysts within the baseball community. Past academic research has taken a number of distinct approaches to making predictions for hitters, but research on pitchers is a bit more limited. The study of projections often provides valuable insight into aspects of performance used in modeling. One projection engine, created by Tom Tango, is called MARCEL; it uses a weighted average of recent performance and regresses it to the mean. It uses simple, publicly-available data and, in general, performs quite well as a prediction tool for both hitters and pitchers (Tango 2004). However, this approach leaves much to be desired. Tango explains that this model is the simplest possible model that should be accepted; while it stacks up well against some basic systems, it is meant as a simple threshold for considering a model to be effective.

  • Spartan Pitching Handbook (Compiled and Written by Greg Mueller, Revised December, 2009)
    Spartan Pitching Handbook (Compiled and written by Greg Mueller, revised December, 2009) General Pitching Philosophy – “Believe in the Power of One” These are some, but not all, of the ideas you will need to become an excellent Spartan pitcher. During the course of the season, the coaches will give you other information to develop your pitching skills and understanding – listen carefully and work hard – in order to advance as an individual player and contribute to the team’s success. “Pitching is what the game is all about. Pitching IS the game.” (Bob Welch, 1990 Cy Young winner) The pitcher is “the only offensive player on the defensive field. Action begins when the pitcher delivers the ball. He is pro-active; the hitter is reactive….All too often, however, the pitcher forfeits that edge.” (H.A. Dorfman, pitching instructor/counselor for Oakland A’s, Florida Marlins, Tampa Bay Devil Rays) Pitching is 90 – 95 percent of the game, therefore, you need to be LEADERS of the team in practice as well as in games – set the tone with a confident attitude and exemplary work ethic. You need to give 100% on all drills, duties and routines. Live by these principles, “practice centers around getting better every day”, “perfect practice makes perfect” and “practice hard or go home”. SUCCESS in pitching requires 1. Excellent physical conditioning / strength – you will need to run more than position players to get your legs in shape because when the legs get tired your mechanics breakdown; you will need to do med ball wall and throwing exercises to strengthen your core muscles to promote better hip rotation which will increase your velocity; and, you will need to do arm circles.

    SEEING STARS: MATTHEW EFFECTS AND STATUS BIAS IN MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL UMPIRING Jerry W Kim Columbia University Brayden G King Northwestern University ABSTRACT Despite a growing body of research about the Matthew Effect and status, we still know little about the cognitive biases that underlie the ability of high status actors to accumulate advantages over their lower status peers. In this paper we test the assumption that actors’ status biases evaluators’ judgments made about those actors’ quality. We posit that high status actors benefit from over-recognition of quality, wherein evaluators are more likely to erroneously attribute high quality to an actor’s performance, and that evaluators systematically and erroneously under- recognize quality in low status actors. Using unique data from Major League Baseball umpires’ evaluation of pitch quality, which allow us to observe the difference in a pitch’s objective quality and in its perceived quality as judged by the umpire, we show that umpires are more likely to over-recognize quality in high status pitchers and under-recognize quality in low status pitchers. Ambiguity and the pitcher’s reputation as a “control pitcher” moderate the effect of status on umpire judgment. Further, we show that umpire errors resulting from status bias lead to actual performance differences, decreasing the probability that high status pitchers allow players to get on base and increasing the likelihood of winning the game.
