Abstract

In baseball, the traditional measure of pitchers are wins and ERA. But these statistics are influenced by luck or team power. So sabermetrician proposes a number of indicators that predict future performance. We determine a new measure, which we call pitching grade index (PGI) that efficiently summarizes a pitcher's performance on a numerical scale using principal components analysis. The PGI statistic can often be useful to assessing a pitcher's individual contribution. Also K-means clustering algorithm are used for segmentation of players into groups.

투수를 평가할 때 중요한 요소는 일반적으로 다승과 방어율을 사용하지만 이 지표들은 팀의 도움 또는 운과 같은 요소의 영향을 받는다. 그래서 야구통계학자들은 투수 개인의 능력만을 측정하는 많은 지표들을 제안하였는데 이와 같은 평가지표들은 가짓수가 너무 많고 복잡하기 때문에 팬들을 때때로 당황하게 만든다. 본 연구에서는 대표적인 투수평가지표들을 이용하여 지표들의 특성을 반영하는 주성분을 찾아보고 한국프로야구에 적합한 투수들의 능력을 객관적으로 평가할 수 있는 투수지표를 제안하였다.
