I actually went to Baum Stadium in 2004. My friend's brother was a relief pitcher for Missouri. I believe that Baum is about 10 feet shorter down the lines than Goss Stadium at Coleman Field. The two stadiums are oriented the same way, like TD Ameritrade Park is oriented. Right field is to the south of home. Goss Stadium at Coleman Field is very much a pitchers' park with a lot more foul territory than either Baum or TD Ameritrade. The wind usually comes in from the south for the early part of the year and from the west for the remainder. The way Goss Stadium at Coleman Field plays, it is much harder to hit a ball deep to right than it is to left. That appears to be similar to Baum. (And TD Ameritrade, for that matter.) It appears that Corvallis is generally windier than Fayetteville but that Winter and Spring are worse wind-wise in Fayetteville than in Corvallis. By June, that trend appears to reverse itself. Still, at most, we are only talking about 1-1.5 mph difference. Knight is a heck of a pitcher. It will be entertaining to see how this Heimlich-Knight matchup shakes out. OSU had fewer HRs but a significantly greater numbers of doubles and triples. The can clean the bass just as effectively as a homerun It will be interesting. Fun fact. 1981 Oklahoma State and 2018 Oregon State are currently tied for most doubles in a College World Series with 13. If the Beavers hit another double, 2018 Oregon State will own the College World Series team double record. |

Ok, well ... I followed the link back to the original site. There is no methodology stated. So it could be someone just pulling numbers out his a$$. Not from Missouri, just training in econometrics. When people throw numbers around, I want to know the source. Sorry. Sorry Dude, I was just trying to be lighthearted with the Missouri comment. I'm just a baseball dad not a economics major - had to look up econometrics (the use of mathematical methods, especially statistics in describing economic systems) Impressive. I Googled it for you between innings, here's the same data with the methodology from SABR.org sabr.org/research/chances-drafted-baseball-player-making-major-leagues-quantitative-study |

Very interesting. Unfortunately, they didn't take a look at the nature of players' careers. A lot of players, including high draftees get a cup of coffee and that's it. So they don't identify the quality of the career. I understand why. It would require looking up data for each of the 750 players they looked at in Rounds 1-20 but, also, Rounds 21-40 [Some seasons Rounds 21-50]. That would be a lot of work. It would also be interesting to take a look at first Round data -- probabilities of the first pick, second pick, and so on. |

I'm not sure we're looking at the same report? this one shows how many of each round make it in the MLB 3 years or longer? It also has all the data broken down by college/high school and pitcher/position players. Not sure how much more detailed it could get. |
