Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to statistically analyze the effects of on-base and slugging ability on the run productivity in Korean professional baseball. In Section 2, we have investigated the OPS (On-base percentage Plus Slugging average) and introduced new indices of batting ability by modifying the OPS. In Section 3, we have examined the correlation which the batting average, on-base percentage, slugging average, IsoP (Isolated Power), OPS and the indices introduced in Section 2 have with the average runs per game, using the data from all the games of the regular seasons in 2007~2011. In addition, by generalizing the OPS and the indices introduced in Section 2, we have analyzed the correlation of the indices with various weights between the average runs per game. As a result, the weighted OPS consisting of on-base percentage (with weight 57%) and slugging average (with weight 43%) has been found to give the best explanation of the run productivity.

한국 프로야구에서 출루 능력과 장타력이 득점 생산성에 미치는 영향을 통계적으로 분석하였다. 2절에서는 OPS (On-base percentage Plus Slugging average)에 관하여 고찰하고 그것을 변형한 새로운 타격지표들을 소개하였다. 3절에서는 2007년부터 2011년까지의 정규리그 전 경기 자료를 바탕으로 타율, 출루율, 장타율, IsoP (Isolated Power), OPS 및 2절에서 소개된 지표들이 팀의 경기당 평균득점과 갖는 상관관계를 알아보았다. 또한 OPS와 2절에서 소개된 지표들을 일반화하여 여러 가지 가중값을 갖는 타격지표들이 팀의 경기당 평균득점과 갖는 상관관계를 분석하였다. 그 결과 출루율에 57%, 장타율에 43%의 가중값을 주는 가중OPS가 득점 생산성을 가장 잘 설명하는 타격지표인 것으로 밝혀졌다.
