In 1994, the Padres and Mariners both signed 20-year leases with the City of Peoria, assuring the future stability of the entire Cactus League. In 2012, the teams renewed these leases through Spring Training 2034. The new agreement included construction of state of the art, energy efficient clubhouses for each team as well as numerous renovations to the main stadium. Peoria Sports Complex is the site for Major League Spring Training, as well as each team’s player development systems. In the off-season, the complex is the site for player rehabilitation, Extended Spring Training, Arizona Summer League and Arizona Instructional League baseball. The complex is also home to an Arizona Fall League team. International teams from Japan, Korea, China, Canada, France, Italy, Australia and the Netherlands have also used the facility for training. In addition to Major and Minor League Baseball, Peoria Sports Complex is utilized year-round by many local and national youth and adult baseball tournaments and championships.

Although some safety measures have been implemented, by decreas- Ryan Smith3 ing the 15 days on the disabled list (DL) to the 7 days on the DL, concussion rates remain high Daniel J Lombardo3 across positions and may impact player performance. Our hypothesis was, there would be an Wilfredo J Borroto4 increase in concussion incidence following implementation of the 7 day DL, but this would not have a negative impact on player’s postconcussion performance. James D Whaley5 Study design: This is a descriptive epidemiology study. 1 Levitetz Department of Orthopaedic Methods: The concussed players from 2005 to 2016 were identified from the MLB DL and Surgery, Cleveland Clinic Florida, Weston, FL, USA; 2Western Michigan verified using established new sources.

  • Applying Matching Equation to Pitch Selection in Major League Baseball
    APPLYING MATCHING EQUATION TO PITCH SELECTION IN MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL __________________________________________________________________ A Thesis Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Masters of Education in Applied Behavior Analysis __________________________________________________________________ David Dragone August 2018 Examining Committee Members: Donald Hantula, Ph.D., Thesis Advisor, Department of Psychology Matt Tincani, Ph. D., BCBA-D, Department of Education Amanda Guld Fisher, Ph. D., BCBA-D, College of Education ABSTRACT This study applied the generalized matching equation (GME) to pitch selection in MLB during the 2016 regular season. The GME was used to evaluate the pitch selection of 21 groups of pitchers as well as 144 individual pitchers. The GME described pitch selection well for four of the 21 pitching groups and 32 of the 144 individual pitchers. Of the remaining groups and individual pitchers, behavior may be explained by rule following behavior or be impacted by distant reinforcers such as salary. All 21 groups demonstrated a bias for fastballs as well as 119 of the 144 individual pitchers. The results extend the use of the GME to natural contexts and suggest an alternative view to evaluating pitchers. KEYWORDS: general matching theory, general matching equation, sports, baseball, reinforcement ii DEDICATION This study is dedicated to the countless number of people who have supported me throughout the years both in this degree and professionally. Thank you, to my wife, Jen, and Children, Aurora and Rose, who gave me the motivation to keep working through this process and seeing it through to the end. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank Dr.
