Strikeout

When I was in sixth grade I was playing baseball and I hit one over the fence, the umpire said it was a foul ball. If I was playing cricket I would still be in play. Baseball and cricket are kind of similar, yet very different. In cricket they have different equipment than baseball. And the fields are different. For example there is not an out of bounds when you hit the ball. In baseball you have a round bat cleats helmet and a glove for one hand. In cricket your have two shin pad, hemet, two…

Fast pitch softball and baseball, they sound alike, they look alike, and they have a lot of similarities. However, they are a lot more different than they appear. I have been playing fast- pitch softball for twelve years so I am fairly knowledgeable on rules and regulations. I do not all the rules for baseball, but after research I found out the differences between the two sports. I plan to tell of the similarities and variances of softball and baseball. Fast pitch softball has many differences…

Softball: It's More Than a Sport Hey batta batta swing! No, I'm not talking about baseball, i'm talking about something even better: softball! Softball isn't just a sport, it's a fun pass-time that can help with stress relief, build positive relationships, and help one cope with failure as well as gracefully accept success. Let us first discuss the topic of stress. Softball is a great way to relieve tension or stress. Picture yourself at the plate. The pitcher is doing her wind up.…

America.3 top rules in baseball is 3 strikes you’re out , 4 balls is a walk, and foul balls. Strikes are 1 of the pitches that can be called in game. Strikeouts are when 3 strikes are called. In a game you cannot argue strikes or you will be ejected from the game. If you bunt with 2 strikes and then it goes foul it is considered a strikeout. So strikeouts play a big role in baseball. Balls are another thing that can be called in a game. 4 balls are a walk. And just like strikes you cannot…

Best Pitcher Nolan Ryan is no question the best MLB pitcher of all time. Nolan has put up a total of 5,714 strikeouts in his career. The reason he had this many strike outs was because the average pitcher in the MLB throws 95.3 MPH. But Nolan threw a pitch that was said to be 108 MPH, in 1974! The average pitch speed back then was 85 MPH! Nolan was also able to put fear into other players. There were some players that didn't even want to step into the batter's box when Nolan was pitching, and…

left and advanced to second on a fielding error. After a strikeout, Ashlyn Stanfill singled down the right field line to score an unearned run. In the eighth, a key error opened the floodgates to allow the Lions to score four runs. With the bases loaded and one out, a throwing error to home plate scored a pair of runs. However, no one was covering as Kristin Stringer swiped home to give Southwest Assemblies a 5-2 lead. A wild pitch on a strikeout allowed the sixth and final run of the game to…

and it goes to the right of you, that means you swung too late. If it goes to the left you swung the bat to early. And if it goes down the middle of the field your swing is good. If you have two strikes and you see another strike goes by for the strikeout, make sure you swing whether you hit it or not just do not watch it go by. Next, you go into the batter's box. Observe the pitcher to see how fast and hard she/he is pitching.…

I imported data for 30 starting pitchers in the year 2016, all pitchers pitched in the MLB in the year 2016. Next, I decided what independent variables I wanted to include in my multiple regression. I included strikeouts per nine innings (K9), walks per 9 innings (W9), if the pitcher through a complete game (CG), hits per nine innings (H9), and WHIP. WHIP is a statistical measure to determine how many runners get on base versus a pitcher, a lower WHIP is good.…

The Orioles recently resigned Chris Davis to a 7 year and $161 million dollar contract. As Jon wrote at the time (http://camdendepot.blogspot.com/2016/01/orioles-go-slightly-bananas-and-sign.html), Davis brings to the immediate a strong bat with a heavy right handed favored split. It’s pretty simple honestly, people like Chris Davis because he has elite power and can absolutely crush pitches. Meanwhile, CBS Sports…

when he led the NL in starts (34) and compiled a 14-11 record with a 3.14 ERA and a league-leading 242 strikeouts in 215 innings. That was followed by two DL stints in 2015, which limited him to 23 starts, though he did win eight of his final 10 decisions from June 23 through the end of the season. His work so far in 2016 has been admittedly impressive — 5-0 with a 2.76 ERA and 58 strikeouts in 49 innings — but even when factoring in his success late last season, that hardly seems like enough…
