Quality Start Revisited
Back in October of 2004 I wrote a Stat of the Week article called “Is quality start really a quality stat?” I pointed out how a pitcher who has a quality start (6 innings or more with 3 earned runs allowed or less) wins about two-thirds of the time and that shows the “quality” of the stat. Recently, ESPN baseball commentator Bruce Levine, whom I highly respect, has been talking about how much he hates the stat pointing to the same argument that’s always made about... Read Full Story

Who’s Hot and Who’s Not?
Want to know how “hot” or “cold” your favorite players or team are, and to what degree? Well, Bill James came up with a way to translate recent performance into a temperature. It’s a cool (or hot, should we say) system that provides added insight into to the notion of hot and cold streaks.
In his own words, James’ temperature system “gives you a quick read on how hot or cold a hitter is at the moment. Every hitter starts the season at ‘room temperature’ (72... Read Full Story

Does it make sense to “waste” a pitch with an 0-2 count?
When a pitcher starts a batter off with two consecutive strikes, he’s clearly ahead in the count and has a range of options available. He can take the efficient route, again throwing the pitch in the strike zone and forcing the hitter to take a defensive swing or head back to the bench. Alternatively, he can “waste a pitch”, throwing it out of the strike zone and hoping that the hitter goes after it, either completing the strikeout or... Read Full Story

How Important is Hitting the Catcher’s Target?
At Baseball Info Solutions , our video scouts recently began charting the catcher’s target before each pitch. This opens up many new avenues for analysis, but first we should examine the difference between pitches that hit the target and those that don’t.
Considering all final pitches of each at bat from the 2010 season, we split the sample into two equal-sized groups based on the distance between the catcher’s target and the actual pitch... Read Full Story

Keith Moreland on WGN Radio at the Cubs Convention
The Cubs and WGN Radio have announced former and occasional fill-in Keith Moreland as the new radio analyst, succeeding Ron Santo. In his limited fill-in duty during a few extended Santo absences, Zonk did a nice job. I think his down home Texas y’all stuff will fade a bit and he will fit in fine once he and Pat Hughes get some games under their belt together. Moreland is no stranger to broadcasting, having had his first taste as a... Read Full Story
