Abstract

In baseball, sabermetric batting statistics are used to compare an offensive performance of players. There exist dozens of sabermetric statistics, but baseball fans don't like the complexity of an abundance of measures. This paper provides a batting grade index (BGI) using principal component based on eight batting statistics. These are OPS, ISO, SECA, TA, RC, RC/27, wOBA and XR. We show that how standardized batting statistics are aggregated and weighted to arrive at a single composite measure of BGI. Also our result allows for segmentation of players into groups using the K-means clustering algorithm.

타자들의 평가에 대한 불완전한 부분을 보완하기 위하여 세이버메트리션들이 세워놓은 기준들이 선수 평가에 중요한 잣대가 되고 있다. 하지만 평가지표들은 개수가 많고 형태가 일정하지 않아서 팬들을 혼동에 빠지게 한다. 본 연구에서는 대표적인 타자평가지표를 이용하여 지표들의 특성을 골고루 반영하는 주성분을 찾아보고 한국프로야구에 적합한 타자지표를 제안한다. 제안된 지표는 타자들의 능력을 그룹화하여 객관적으로 설명할 수 있기 때문에 선수들의 연봉을 합리적으로 결정할 수 있다.
