스포츠에서 통계적 개념이 부적절하게 사용되고 있는 몇 가지의 경우들을 살펴보고, 이를 바로잡기 위한 방안을 제시한다. 먼저 야구의 경우를 자세히 살펴본 뒤 축구와 권투의 경우에 관해서도 논의한다.

In this study, the correlation between sports records and weather data was analyzed using the big data analysis method. To this end, data was collected by API and crawling, data was processed, statistics were performed, and data visualization was performed. The subject of this study was a player who entered the regular at-bat among outfielders in the 2019 KBO League. In addition, meteorological data were analyzed by using the unpleasant index and above 70 and below 70. As a result of the study, in the various hitting indicators, which are the records that pitchers intervene, the higher the unpleasant index, the better the outfielder's record, but pitchers, walks, pitches, pitching success rates, pitches per turn, pitches per game From the records of the back, it was found that the outfielder made the pitcher difficult. It is expected that this study will help the development of the sports data industry and the performance of baseball players, baseball teams, and coaching staff.

In this paper, we propose batting index prediction models of 2017. Due to the insufficiency of KBO pitchers data, batting index prediction models of 2016 has been developed based on elected eight batting index collecting the past three years data of MLB and KBO. It has been found that this prediction model fits well to both MLB and KBO, and the KBO model fits better than MLB in some cases. Using these prediction models, we analyzed and compared 2016's estimated values for the batting index of MLB and KBO. With the relation results between batting index prediction and batter's age for MLB and KBO, it can be determined that there is no relationship between the significant batting index and ages.

The KBO League is held over a long period of time due to the large number of games. Also, Korea has a diverse and distinct climate. Therefore, this study analyzed the relationship between the daily average temperature and the record of batting power such as home runs, triples, doubles, number of bases, batting percentage, and net batting percentage, and a third baseball record was defined. For this study, the correlation between the daily average temperature data and the batter who entered the standard at-bat in the KBO League in 2019 was analyzed through the SEMMA method. From the results of this study, it was found that the average daily temperature had an effect on a batter's hitting power. In particular, it was found that a batter's hitting power decreased on the day of temperatures recorded between 20.0 degrees and 24.9 degrees, and it was discussed that this may have been related to the physical condition of the pitcher the batter was facing. Therefore, it can be expected that players, coaching staff, and the front desk can use them in the game through conditions outside the game. In addition, it is expected that it will be a more useful analysis model by analyzing the records of pitching, base running, and defense as well as subsequent batting records.

Among lots of sabermetric statistics for baseball batters' ability, the wins above replacement (WAR) is the most popular statistic in MLB. However, there exists a difficulty applying WAR to KBO, since KBO data do not have position adjustment, league adjustment and park factor which are essential in calculating WAR. In this paper, using five statistics for both KBO and MLB qualified batters, we propose hitting ability index (HAI), an alternative sabermetric indices to represent batters' ability. Comparing HAI with WAR of MLB batters, we evaluate the validity of HAI and then applied HAI to 2015 KBO data in which HAI is analyzed statistically with respect to different teams, ages, and positions. Moreover, the linear relationship between KBO batter's HAI and their annual salary is discussed. Grouping 46 KBO batters based on confidence region of the regression model for annual salary, we also statistically investigate batter's annual salary in these groups with respect to several factors.
