Baseball Hacks isn't your typical baseball bookit's a book about how to watch, research, and understand baseball. It's an instruction manual for the free baseball databases. It's a cookbook for baseball research. Every part of this book is designed to teach baseball fans how to do something. In short, it's a howto bookone that will increase your enjoyment and knowledge of the game.So much of the way baseball is played today hinges upon interpreting statistical data. Players are acquired based on their performance in statistical categories that ownership deems most important. Managers make ingame decisions based not on instincts, but on probability how a particular batter might fare against lefthanded pitching, for instance.The goal of this unique book is to show fans all the baseballrelated stuff that they can do for free (or close to free). Just as open source projects have made great software freely available, collaborative projects such as Retrosheet and Baseball DataBank have made great data freely available. You can use these data sources to research your favorite players, win your fantasy league, or appreciate the game of baseball even more than you do now.Baseball Hacks shows how easy it is to get data, process it, and use it to truly understand baseball. The book lists a number of sources for current and historical baseball data, and explains how to load it into a database for analysis. It then introduces several powerful statistical tools for understanding data and forecasting results.For the uninitiated baseball fan, author Joseph Adler walks readers through the core statistical categories for hitters (batting average, onbase percentage, etc.), pitchers (earned run average, strikeouttowalk ratio, etc.), and fielders (putouts, errors, etc.). He then extrapolates upon these numbers to examine more advanced data groups like career averages, team stats, seasonbyseason comparisons, and more. Whether you're a mathematician, scientist, or seasonticket holder to your favorite team, Baseball Hacks is sure to have something for you.Advance praise for Baseball Hacks: "Baseball Hacks is the best book ever written for understanding and practicing baseball analytics. A mustread for baseball professionals and enthusiasts alike." Ari Kaplan, database consultant to the Montreal Expos, San Diego Padres, and Baltimore Orioles"The game was born in the 19th century, but the passion for its analysis continues to grow into the 21st. In Baseball Hacks, Joe Adler not only demonstrates that the latest datamining technologies have useful application to the study of baseball statistics, he also teaches the reader how to do the analysis himself, arming the dedicated baseball fan with tools to take his understanding of the game to a higher level." Mark E. Johnson, Ph.D., Founder, SportMetrika, Inc. and Baseball Analyst for the 2004 St. Louis Cardinals
