Description
Summary:碩士 === 輔仁大學 === 體育學系碩士班 === 99 === This research is based on the regular season games between La New Bears, Uni Lions, Sinon and Brother Elephants in the Chinese Professional Baseball League (CPBL) 2006-2008. The research results reflect the correlations (if any) of the teams’ winning percentages, runs scored and their respective “offensive index” of team/individual batting positions. These results will serve as an important reference to managing games and daily trainings for professional baseball teams. The detail statistics of the 4 teams studied in the 3-year period were recorded in Excel spreadsheets. Comprehendible results were obtained after these data were analysed by SPSS 12.0 for Windows. Results: First, Team “Offensive Index” was highly correlated to Team Winning Percentage and Team Run Scored. Second, Individual “Offensive Index” of 2nd, 3rd, 6th, 8th batters were highly correlated to Team Winning Percentage. Individual “Offensive Index” of 2nd, 3rd, 6th, 7th, 8th batters were highly correlated to Team Run Scored. Third, there has been no significant variation in the “offensive index” of individual hitters in the batting order among the 4 teams studied with the exception of the 8th batter. The only significant difference in the individual “offensive index” was found in the 8th batter of the Lions and Sinon, where the 8th batter of the Lions showed significant advantage over the Sinon counterpart.
