Good and bad pitchers’ hitting

By Tangotiger, 04:01 PM

Nate takes a look at everyone’s favorite topic. 

If Nate is out there, can you add a blog post describing the method?  I’m guessing you did component regression.  How much did each component regress?  Generally speaking, I agree with all his points.

I remember putting out a list of worst hitting pitchers, and, IIRC, I had Ben Sheets as worst hitting pitcher in the league.  Actually, let me see… Of pitchers born since 1960, I’ve got Harang as the worst (Nate has him as #2), Davis as #2 (Nate has him #3), Clark #4, Dempster, then Sheets.  Don’t know why he has Hill so bad… I’ll have to look into him.  Gorze is also bad.

"Think of this place as something like a college classroom. We’re in charge, we pick the topics, we set the rules, and we try to foster as much intelligent discourse as possible. If this isn't your cup of tea, there are plenty of other sites out there for you to try—we're not going to be for everybody, and we're not going to try to appeal to the masses." —USSM
