I'll have to look around to see if there are stats on the speed of the game. It would be fairly easy to do in football thanks to the NFL Combine, but can't think of anywhere where speed is documented consistently in baseball.</p> </article> <article> <h1>Comment on MLB Innings Pitched By Height by Zack Porter</h1> <p>Zack Porter — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 03:26:59 +0000</p> <p>Just a thought, but I'm curious to know how fast the game has gotten. I don't know if there is data on players 40 yard dash times, but I think it would be interesting to see how fast the game has gotten.</p> </article> <article> <h1>Comment on Thoughts on Cal Playing at the San Francisco Giants’ AT&T Park by Jason Manola</h1> <p>Jason Manola — Wed, 12 May 2010 06:59:13 +0000</p> <p>Avg. Cal Attendance in 2009: 55,103. In 2002, when the Chicago Bears played at the University of Illinois in Memorial Stadium, they ended up with a 4-12 record. After they posted a 13-3 record the year before. The traveling to and from the Stadium and playing in a different environment played a role in their dismal season. Hopefully the change of scenery doesn't hurt the Cal Bear's season.</p> </article> <article> <h1>Comment on Thoughts on Cal Playing at the San Francisco Giants’ AT&T Park by Tweets that mention Thoughts on Cal Playing at the San Francisco Giants’ AT&T Park — Sportsologist - Christopher Lee | Sports Marketing & Business -- Topsy.com</h1> <p>Wed, 12 May 2010 06:36:21 +0000</p> <p>[...] This post was mentioned on Twitter by Sportsologist.

I don't have the data to study the affect of height on pitching effectiveness but it would certainly be interesting to look at! In its simplest form I think some of it has to do with physically being taller, delivering closer to the plate, and some psychological in terms of people "thinking" a taller pitcher is better thus getting more opportunities. I'll follow up this piece with on on ERA relative to height but as a preview there was very little ERA difference relative to height.</p> </article> <article> <h1>Comment on MLB Innings Pitched By Height by Matt</h1> <p>Matt — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 21:24:26 +0000</p> <p>I think at least three factors are in play.</p><p>• A taller pitcher's higher release point creates better down plane to the plate. A fastball angled down in the strike zone is more difficult to hit solidly and lift for power. Does this have an opposite effect on breaking balls and changeups, I wonder?</p><p>• A taller pitcher releases the ball closer to plate, giving batters even less time to react. A pitcher who throws hard and hides the ball well will derive even greater benefit.</p><p>• Teams, perhaps subconsciously, have been trying to recreate the effects of the Year of the Pitcher, seeking taller pitcher to approximate the 15-inch mounds of the 1960-1968 period in your study. In '69, mounds were lowered to the present 10 inches.</p> </article> <article> <h1>Comment on MLB Innings Pitched By Height by Tweets that mention MLB Innings Pitched By Height — Sportsologist - Christopher Lee | Sports Marketing & Business -- Topsy.com</h1> <p>Mon, 26 Apr 2010 20:43:24 +0000</p> <p>[...] This post was mentioned on Twitter by Jana, Sportsologist.

The corners are traditionallly power positions yet 3B employs the shortest average height of any position other than 2B and SS. Since height often coincides with power, I am a bit suprised that 3B ranks so low.</p><p>Interesting data as always.</p> </article> <article> <h1>Comment on Baseball Player Weight By Position by Baseball Instructional Video Set – The Mental Game. | cheapax.info</h1> <p>Baseball Instructional Video Set – The Mental Game. | cheapax.info — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 08:32:54 +0000</p> <p>[...] Baseball Player Weight By Position — Sportsologist – Christopher … [...]</p> </article> <article> <h1>Comment on Baseball Player Weight By Position by Tweets that mention Baseball Player Weight By Position — Sportsologist - Christopher Lee | Sports Business & Marketing -- Topsy.com</h1> <p>Fri, 26 Mar 2010 07:02:04 +0000</p> <p>[...] This post was mentioned on Twitter by Sportsologist, Spring Training Fans.
