A Hybrid Assessment Method for Evaluating the Performance of Starting Pitchers in a Professional Baseball Team
نویسندگان
چکیده
The performance assessment of professional baseball starting pitchers is considered a multi-attribute decisionmaking (MADM) problem. This study develops an evaluation model based on the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and grey relational analysis (GRA) to evaluate starting pitcher performance for teams of the Chinese Professional Baseball League. The AHP is used to determine attribute weights, whereas the GRA calculates the individual grey relational degree. We conducted an empirical analysis to show the use of the model for addressing the starting pitcher performance problem. The results demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed model.

BACKGROUND It seemed that visual functions might have some effects on the performance of baseball players. We measured static, kinetic, and dynamic visual acuity (SVA, KVA, and DVA, respectively) of Japanese professional baseball players to ascertain whether there would be any difference in SVA, KVA, and DVA among player groups stratified according to their performance level. METHODS The subj...
