Aging Patterns
June 27, 2002 - D Smyth
Tango hits the big time! Good stuff. An interesting type of study to do, because the actual calculations are very simple--the player's age, PA total, and hitting rate. The whole issue of the study is identifying and dealing with the sampling problems, as Tango takes the time to discuss. I do think the league and park adjustments should be done, so that there is more confidence in the conclusions. I look forward to the followup article.

---"...speed plays little or no role in ROE rate, once we control for GB rate (since speedy players tend to be GB hitters)..."
Well. then, don't you need to control for GB rate and speed independently? It is common sense, to me, that speed "should be" an independent factor in RBOE.
