Take Me Out to the Ball Game….. For Professor Rosenkrantz By Refugio Barrasa IME 301

Why I chose baseball After years of hearing my “brothers” talk about whom was the better pitcher and I wanted to see what the numbers had to say. So who was a better starter and who was a better reliever?

Stevie? Anthony? Guero? My hypothesis is that Stevie and Anthony are better relief pitchers than Guero. I believe that my analysis will find that Guero is a better starter than a reliever.

My Data Collection I took my scorebooks and counted the strikes and balls that were thrown I also counted the number of strike-outs and base on balls that were thrown per inning pitched

Data Sheet

Strike Outs vs. Innings Pitched

Base on Balls vs. Inning Pitched

My discoveries Was I right or wrong?

Average of Balls Thrown

Average of Strikes thrown

My Findings Stevie has a wider range of pitches Anthony depends on his fielders to help him through the innings Guero has a good control, but isn’t necessarily the best

Is my hypothesis good? Didn’t prove it right nor wrong Showed that Guero is
