wOBA is considered one of the best stats to quantify batting performance. But what is most likely to contribute to wOBA? Is it more important to have a strong BB/K rate or to produce on balls thrown in the strike zone that are put into play? Is production when hitting fly balls more important than hitting ground balls and if so by how much? In order to determine this, I used 2013-2015 data from ESPN Stats and Information and Pitch FX to see what correlates best with overall wOBA. The first test…

It was a hot blazing afternoon without a single mist of wind in sight. Droplets of sweat started to run down my face heading towards my mouth. I could taste the saltiness and dedication of hard work for my beloved sport which was baseball. Baseball is not just any sport to me, it is my source of happiness. I play it for the love and joy that overwhelms me whenever I walk onto the baseball field. The crowd cheering you and your team on making you feel the rush through your body wanting to play…

When Justin Turner smacked the game-winning home run for the Dodgers on Sunday night, announcers, sportswriters, bloggers and fans all called it the same thing: a “walk-off.” Unknown as recently as the 1970s and 1980s, the term “walk-off” for a game-ending hit has become as comfortable a part of the baseball lexicon as “balls” and “strikes.” And it’s spreading. The term’s first published citation was in July 1988, according to William Safire, who was The New York Times’s longtime language…

is whose hands are so gnarled by arthritis, she cannot dress or turn the knob on her kitchen stove. She is keenly alert, but she may wind up in a nursing home anyway, at a tab of $60,000 a year, because there is no way she can live alone. The widow and her grown children are shocked to discover that Medicare won't pay for her care in a nursing home. Only when she impoverishes herself,…

Baseball is in my blood. Like the light hair and eyes I inherited from my father, and the hot Italian temper I got from my mother, through my veins a love of baseball runs. Until recently, where my passion for the sport came from I was not sure. Sometime, I thought it began long ago, on summer trips to Fenway Park, when my family would drive in our oversized Chevy to Boston, park in a garage near Government Center, and take the T out to the ballpark. As I grew older and more accustomed to our…

through their final stages of life. The different types of agencies within the industry (hospice, nursing home, home care, personal care home etc.) cater to different situational needs of the elderly. For example, home care provides care for the senior citizen that doesn’t need 24 hour care and would prefer to remain at home. Whereas, a personal care home provides care within a residential home but in a community…

but still needs to get back to his starting position in order to keep his land. The factor he did not predict was how little energy he would have on the return home trip, compared to when he left. Tolstoy writes that Pahom was to greedy in the first half of his day, which would act negatively on Pahom and make his work harder on the way home than he actually had the energy for. Pahom even tries to self motivate, saying to himself, "An hour to suffer, a life-time to live", except the issue in…

batter but then be the best fielder on your team. I feel numbers are just numbers they change all the time so I personally don’t think you can see how good an athlete is by statistics. Just like one of the guys said at the end of the movie that hit home and took the words right out of my mouth. He said “It’s all about the heart and dedication you put into the game. Also the group of players you put together to play the sport. You can’t approach baseball from a statistical beam counter point of…
