HS Team Project
Well, it looks like that class I took has driven me temporarily insane, or at least more insane than usual. I’m in the process of trying to use several different runs estimators that are currently used in conjunction with ML teams to see how well they work on HS teams. I can already hear the “sample size is too small” guys screaming and hollering, but this time they’re gonna have to take a deep breath. Since 1871, there have been 2,745 team seasons.

Is FIP any better than ERA or WHIP?
Not being someone who gives up easily on just about anything, I thought I’d pursue the FIP thing that JH got started in another thread a bit further. In order to do that, I needed to compute a “League ERA” in order to get the constant used to compute FIP. Since HS ball doesn’t have a league in the sense of American or National league the way MLB does, I had to go to the closest thing to it that was available. I chose to use DI schools in our section. Our section has 195 schools, 49 of which...

Comparing our HS team to MLB in some hitting metrics
Having access to the ML data for the course I’m taking, I thought I’d see how some of our HS team’s numbers compared to ML numbers. As you can see, while Hits per PA is really close between the two, there are big differences when you look at each individual type of hit. The rate of triples is very close to the same, but the HS numbers I have show a much higher rate than MLB for doubles, and the MLB rate for singles and HRs are both much higher. Keeping in mind how small the sample I have is...
