Greatest hits from 1988

2nd February 2008

Since it's the weekend, I thought I'd recycle a bunch of PI searches that I've posted over at the 88 Topps Cards blog.

For example:

That's it for now. We've got a contest over there that ends on Monday, if you'd like to enter.

Hey wait, that was the pitcher!

30th January 2008

Yesterday Andy focused on bases-loaded walks. I'd like to focus on the most demoralizing type of bases -loaded walk, the two out walk to the opposing pitcher. Just when you think you're out of the jam, not only have you replaced an easy out with a run, you have also brought up the top of the order. Recently this is has become an uncommon event, but it seemed happen about 3-10 times a year before 2006. Let's take a look at the last 5 years.

2007 bases-loaded walks

29th January 2008

Using the Team Pitching Event Finder, we came up with this list of all 2007 instances of a team issuing a bases-loaded walk.

Among the things you can tell from this are:

  • The pitchers to do it the most were Barry Zito (7), Levale Speigner (5), and Chad Gaudin (5).
  • The team to draw the most bases-loaded walks was Boston (24), followed by Anaheim (19), and Philadelphia (17).
  • Right-handed batters received 58.4% of the walks with the bases loaded, as compared to 53.5% of ALL walks (regardless of number of baserunners) issued to righties in 2007. I can't think of any easy explanation for this discrepancy, except perhaps that lefties are more likely to pitch in tight spots and therefore the opposing manager might be more inclined to send up a right-handed pitcher.
  • Right handed pitchers issued 63.2% of the walks with the bases loaded, as opposed to 70.9% of ALL walks issued by righties in 2007. This one is easier to explain, as left-handed specialists are brought in during tight squeezes all the times, so it stands to reason that they issue a higher fraction of bases-loaded walks (and probably a smaller fraction of bases-empty walks.)
  • The 6th-place batter in the lineup received the most bases-loaded walks (57), followed by the 7th (53) and 5th (52) place batters.
  • The relative score when the walk occurred was most often tied (74 times) and after that generally happened more when the pitching team was already behind (no surprise there.)
  • Seven games ended on bases loaded walks, and those are listed right here.
  • 55% of all bases-loaded walks were issued at the visitor's park, i.e. at the batter's home park.
  • The pitch count for the bases-loaded walk was most rarely 4 pitches (19.7%) and most often 5 pitches (30.5%.) And twice in 2007, it was 38 pitches.
  • More than half the time, the walk came with 2 out.

A few things you can't tell from this report, but that you can tell from the Team Batting Even Finder for bases-loaded walks:

  • The most were drawn by Pat Burrell (6) and Chone Figgins (5).
  • The most were issued by Texas (19), Baltimore (19), Tampa Bay (17), and Washington (17.)

Game-ending homers off Lee Smith

24th January 2008

The other day, I noticed that Curtis Wilkerson once hit a game-winning grand slam off Lee Smith. Wilkerson was with the Pirates at the time, and Barry Bonds hit his famous game-ending shot off Smith about a month earlier.

Smith gave up 9 game-ending homers in his career. Most of them were to big names too, including Bonds, Ted Simmons, Dave Parker, Darryl Strawberry, Marko Solo, and Albert Belle. Manny Trillo, John Russell, and Wilkerson stick out.

Incidentally, those 9 career walk-off losers for Smith are not actually that many. Mariano Rivera has given up 4, Trevor Hoffman has given up 9, Bill Wagner has given up 7, and they are all still pitching (so their totals might go up.)

Goose Gossage gave up 11 game-ending bombs, and to quite a motley bunch of guys: George Scott, Adrian Garrett, John Mayberry, Jose Cruz, Richie Zisk, Amos Otis, Cecil Cooper, Tom Foley, Chris Chambliss, Hubie Brooks, and Robin Ventura. Quite a bunch!

By the way, if you like free stuff, I'm giving away a 1988 Topps Gallery of Champions set right here.

Some 1988 Topps trivia

11th January 2008

Here are a few bits of trivia inspired by baseball cards from the 1988 Topps set, plus a shameless plug for a new blog of mine (see below.)

If you like this kind of stuff, check out my new blog 88 Topps Cards, where I'm posting each and every card from the 1988 Topps set. In addition to cool stats like those above, I'm also commenting on the cards themselves. I won't ordinarily double-post the same stats here and there. Keep reading this blog, of course...I'll still be posting here every day.

Ryan Howard: 26 Home Runs in Career, pitch count of 1 – Baseball-Reference PI

9th January 2008

Ryan Howard: 26 Home Runs in Career, pitch count of 1 - Baseball-Reference PI

I added another summary value to the Event Finders, the number of the pitch in the plate appearance where the PA ended.  So you can now do things like find all of the first-pitch groundouts in the ninth inning with your team down 2 or more and no one on.  The pitch data is solid back to 2000 and fairly complete back to 1988.  Enjoy.

Jim Palmer’s HR allowed

3rd January 2008

Yesterday, Chris mentioned that Jim Palmer never allowed a grand slam, an apparently famous baseball fact that had previously escaped me.

Checking out Palmer's career home run log confirms it: of the 303 HR he allowed, 193 (63.7%) came with the bases empty, 83 (27.4%) came with one runner on, and 27 (8.9%) came with 2 runners on.

Off the bat, those numbers seem amazing to me, i.e. such a high fraction of homers coming with the bases empty and so few with runners on. But, remembering the era in which Palmer pitched, it might not be so overwhelmingly impressive.

Let's look at the pitchers most similar to Palmer.

1. Bob Gibson - 257 career HR: 138 (53.6%) bases empty, 85 (33.1%) with 1 on, 31 (12.1%) with 2 on, and 3 (1.2%) with the bases loaded.

2. Bob Feller - unfortunately since his entire career came before 1957, the PI doesn't have Feller's data

3. Juan Marichal - 320 career HR: 190 (59.4%), 97 (30.3%), 31 (9.7%), 2 (0.6%)

4. Lefty Grove - same problem as Feller

5. Jack Morris - 389 career HR: 223 (57.3), 122 (31.3%) , 39 (10.0%), 5 (1.3%)

6. Carl Hubbell - same problem

7. John Clarkson - same problem

8. Amos Rusie - same problem

9. Vick Willis - same problem

10. Luis Tiant - 346 career HR: 208 (60.1), 97 (28.0%), 38 (11.0%), 3 (0.9%)

So of the four we have data on, two of them (Gibson and Marichal) started a little before Palmer and pitched during only some of the same years, one (Morris) started a little after Palmer, and one (Tiant) was contemporaneous to Palmer.

In any event, Palmer comes out better than all of these guys. Palmer had no baserunners on more than 63% of his homers, and only Morris breaks 60%. Palmer also had the fewest homers allowed with 2 runners on, and of course the fewest grand slams.

Amazingly, it's Gibson who comes out the worst here. Considering the era he pitched in, that's really surprising.

I'm not going to list out the math, but take my word on this one. If Gibson, across his 257 career homers, allowed the same fraction breakdown of runners on as Palmer, he would have allowed 40 fewer runs in his career, and (if all earned) that would have shaved nearly 0.10 off his career ERA. Wow!

2007 plate appearances, count 3-0

29th December 2007

Following on a bit from yesterday's Mattingly post, here is some info on all plate appearances in 2007 that ended on a pitch thrown with a 3-0 count. So keep in mind as you read below, this doesn't include any PAs that went to 3-1 or 3-2, but rather those that ended on the pitch coming with a 3-0 count. In most cases, this means a 4th ball, leading to a walk. But there are the occasional HBP, fly-outs, HR, etc. (Just to hammer the point home, there could be no strikeouts in this stat since there are no strikes when the count is 3-0. Similarly, a PA that goes from 3-0 to 3-1 on a strike doesn't count here. It's only those PAs that end on a pitch thrown with a 3-0 count.)

So it turns out that there were 4380 such PAs in 2007:

   G     PA     AB     H    2B   3B   HR   RBI    BB   IBB   SO   HBP  SH   SF   ROE  GDP   BA     OBP    SLG    OPS
+-----+------+------+-----+----+----+----+-----+-----+----+-----+----+----+----+----+----+------+------+------+------+
  1968   4380    245    97   30    2   23   159  4118 1249     0   11    0    6    2    5   .396   .965   .816  1.781

So that's a little more than 2 such PAs per game. As you can see, 4118 of those became walks (94.0%), including 1249 that were intentional walks. Incidentally, this doesn't differentiate between PAs that started off as intentional walks (4 intentional balls) and those where the last ball or two were given intentionally after the pitcher fell behind.

You can see the full results of this search here.

Barry Bonds (surprise, surprise) had the most PAs ending on the pitch thrown with a 3-0 count.

In his 64 such PAs, here was his batting line:

   G    PA    AB    H   2B  3B  HR  RBI  BB  IBB  SO  HBP  SH  SF ROE GDP   BA   OBP   SLG   OPS
+----+-----+-----+----+---+---+---+----+----+---+----+---+---+---+---+---+-----+-----+-----+-----+
   53    64     1    0   0   0   0    0   63  43    0   0   0   0   0   0  .000  .984  .000  .984

Incidentally, you can't get this line from the above search. Rather, you need to go to Bonds' Batting Event Finder page.

So in 63 out of 64 PAs, Bonds ended up walking (including 43 times intentionally.) But he did swing and put the ball into play once on a 3-0 count. It was in this game, where he grounded out to second on a 3-0 pitch.

Now from above, we see that 23 times a guy homered on a 3-0 pitch. To get that list, we need to go to the Batting Event Finder and look it up through home runs.

So here is the full list of 3-0 homers in 2007:

Holy smokes! Chase Utley did it twice, in the same game, off the same pitcher! MVP Rollins scored on both. Casey Kotchman, Jim Thome, and Josh Willimgham also did it twice this year, but Belisle is the only pitcher to give up two. There were no slams, but a few three-run jobs.

Now, if you check out the data above, you can see that there were 150 outs recorded on a 3-0 pitch. Again using the Batting Event Finder, we can find all such outs on 3-0 pitches.

Here are the batters to do it the most:

Victor Martinez 6, Chase Utley 4, Frank Thomas 4, and Matt Holliday 4. All good hitters. Utley must swing a lot on 3-0.

Here (from his personal Batting Event Finder) are the 6 times Martinez did it:

Ouch, he did it twice in the 9th inning or later or a tie game. That's not good.

He did also have these 4 hits on a 3-0 pitch:

But these games were all either early or tied...much better times to take such a chance.

Anyway, there are so many cool things like this you can find on the PI. Get cracking!

Reaching on error to end a game in 2007

3rd December 2007

Using the Team Batting Event Finder, I found all the cases where a batter reaching on error ended the game in 2007:

The Rockies were the beneficiary of the error three different times, although only twice did they win the game. #3 on that list ended when Sullivan (the batter) reached on error and then was thrown out at second. I'm guessing he was trying to stretch, and with the Rockies down by 4 with 2 outs in the 9th, it was probably a bad play.

Just to see how often regular-season games end on errors, here is some data from the last few seasons, without further comment:

Post-Season Extra Inning Boom-Boom Trio

12th November 2007

Ever wonder how many pitchers have given up more than one extra-inning homer in the post-season?  Thanks to Baseball-Reference.com's Play Index Post-Season Batter Event Finder, you can look at all the homeruns that have been hit in the post-season during extra innings - and who gave them up.

And, this list tells you that Dan Miceli, Keith Foulke, and Rick Aguilera are the only pitchers in baseball history to allow more than one homerun to be hit off them during extra innings of a post-season game.  Foulke is the only one to do it in the same game.
