Teaching Statistics Using Baseball is a collection of case studies
and exercises applying statistical and probabilistic thinking to
the game of baseball. Baseball is the most statistical of all
sports, since players are identified and evaluated by their
corresponding hitting and pitching statistics. There is an active
effort by people in the baseball community to learn more about
baseball performance and strategy by the use of statistics. This
book illustrates basic methods of data analysis and probability
models by means of baseball statistics collected on players and
teams. Students often have difficulty learning statistics ideas
since they are explained using examples that are foreign to the
students. The idea of the book is to describe statistical thinking
in a context (that is, baseball) that will be familiar and
interesting to students. The book is organized using a same
structure as most introductory statistics texts. There are chapters
on the analysis on a single batch of data, followed with chapters
on comparing batches of data and relationships. There are chapters
on probability models and on statistical inference. The book can be
used as the framework for a one-semester introductory statistics
class focused on baseball or sports. This type of class has been
taught at Bowling Green State University. It may be very suitable
for a statistics class for students with sports-related majors,
such as sports management or sports medicine. Alternately, the book
can be used as a resource for instructors who wish to infuse their
present course in probability or statistics with applications from
baseball. The second edition of Teaching Statistics follows the
same structure as the first edition, where the case studies and
exercises have been replaced by modern players and teams, and the
new types of baseball data from the PitchFX system and
fangraphs.com are incorporated into the text.
