RESEARCH: Home and Road pitchers
Jan 16 2020
Introduction
A few years ago, we introduced our Starting Pitcher Matchup Tool. We considered a lot of inputs in building the tool, and the result was a complex model that was more nuanced than what we had before. However, we are always in search of improvements. Today, we’ll consider what might be the biggest factor that the model neglected: home and road splits. In doing so, we will answer these questions:
- In the current game, what are the broad effects of pitching at home vs. on the road?
- What are the skill changes associated with those effects?
- Are there pitchers who are repeatably better or worse than those averages either at home or on the road?
- Would an in-season sample have any predictive value for the rest of that...
