Team standings in the regular professional baseball league should be determined based on a reasonable criterion; however, an unreasonable Japanese method is being used in Korea as of 2011. In this paper, we suggest a new method of computing the percentage of victories constructed by combining the advantages of the methods to determine team standings used in Korean professional baseball. We also have applied preexistent methods and suggested method to past and present Korean professional baseball data.

야구는 흔히 기록의 스포츠라는 별명으로 많이 불린다. 그만큼 야구라는 운동이 갖는 기록의 종류는 무척 다양하고 또한 기록의 활용 가능성 역시 무궁무진하다. 이러한 별명에 걸맞게 미국에서는 야구에 대한 다양하고 방대한 정보를 수집하고 활용하고 있다. 그러나 한국 프로야구에 대한 정보의 수집과 활용은 아직까지 크게 부각되지 못하는 것이 현실이다. 랜덤 포레스트 기법을 이용하여 경기의 승부를 예측함으로써 한국 프로야구 데이터의 수집과 활용을 증대 시키는 효과를 기대 해 본다. 본 논문에서는 2014년 한국 프로야구의 승부 예측을 주제로 어떠한 누적 스포츠 데이터집단이 가장 유효한지를 실험 하였다. 승부 예측을 하기위해 사용된 누적 스포츠 데이터는 2014년 선수와 팀 기록, 2013부터 2014년까지의 선수와 팀 기록, 2012년부터 2014년까지의 선수와 팀 기록이다. 이들 세 그룹의 데이터를 이용하여 이분데이터 모형에 랜덤 포레스트 기법을 사용한 승부예측 알고리즘에 적용 시킨 후 어느 그룹의 데이터가 가장 실제 2014 한국 프로야구 정기결과와 맞을 확률이 높음을 구하여 가장 유용한 데이터 그룹이 어떤 그룹인지 연구 하였다.

The purpose of this study was empirically to reveal how professional baseball fan's team identification and team loyalty influence on purchase intention of parent company products. For the research, a survey was conducted by 278 subjects selected from fans of Samsung Lions and LG Twins among professional baseball teams which were owned by representative electronics manufacturers. The results were as follows: First, team identification of the professional baseball fan had positive corelation with purchase intention of parent products. Second, team loyalty of the professional baseball fan had positive corelation with purchase intention of parent company products. Third, team loyalty had effective to mediate between team identification and purchase intention of parent company products. The result of studies showed that team identification was a major factor(variable) which had a positive influence on purchase intention of parent company products, and it also verified that team loyalty had mediating effects on these.

The Pythagorean theorem for baseball based on the number of runs they scored and allowed has been noted that in many baseball leagues a good predictor of a team's end of season won-loss percentage. We study the convergence characteristics of the Pythagorean expectation formula during the baseball game season. The three way ANOVA based on main effects for year, rank, and baseball processing rate is conducted on the basis of using the historical data of Korean professional baseball clubs from season 2005 to 2014. We perform a regression analysis in order to predict the difference in winning percentage between teams. In conclusion, a difference in winning percentage is mainly associated with the ranking of teams and baseball processing rate.

한국 프로야구 일정계획은 SLSP(Sports League Scheduling Problem)분야의 문제로서 전형적인 조합최적화 문제이다. 본 연구는 한국 프로야구 일정계획 문제의 제약 조건을 분석하고, 다양한 목적함수에 대해 검토하였다. 또한 이를 효과적으로 풀기 위하여 TTSA(Simulated Annealing for the Traveling Tournament)을 사용하였다. TTSA는 TTP(Traveling Tournament Problem) 문제를 풀기 위해 제안된 방법으로 가능해와 비가능해 영역을 동시에 탐색하여 빠른 시간 안에 좋은 해를 구할 수 있다. 실험은 2005년도 한국 프로야구 리그 일정을 바탕으로 하였으며, 그 결과 팀들의 이동 거리의 총합 최소화, 가장 이동거리가 긴 팀의 이동거리 최소화, 팀 간의 이동거리차이 최소화 측면에서 각각 14%, 22%, 21% 더 좋은 일정을 얻을 수 있었다.

야구 관람객들은 주로 자기가 선호하는 팀의 경기나 이길 가능성이 높은 경기를 관람하고자 한다. 때문에 시중에 지난 경기, 당일의 경기, 미래 경기에 대한 정보를 얻을 수 있는 KBO 사이트와 경기 승/패를 예측하기 위한 정보를 얻을 수 있는 사이트에서 경기 기록에 대한 정보를 얻어 관람 일을 결정하는데 도움을 얻는다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 데이터마이닝을 통하여 프로야구 팬들이 특정 팀의 승/패를 예측하는데 사용할 수 있는 유용한 규칙과 패턴을 도출해보고자 한다.

Fielding Independent Pitching (FIP) is a statistic that measure pitcher performance by eliminating plate appearance outcomes that involve defensive play. FIP uses pitcher dependent outcomes such that walks, strikeouts, hit by pitches, and home runs allowed. The FIP equation derived from linear weights uses three coefficients 13, 3, -2 for evaluating Major League Baseball pitchers. However, these coefficients derived from run value of major league baseball are not suitable to Korea Baseball Organization pitchers due to baseball circumstances. In this study, new FIP called kFIP for Korea Baseball Organization pitchers are provided. We recalculate coefficients and get 14, 3, -1 for evaluating Korean Baseball pitchers. As a result, kFIP is statistically significantly better than FIP at predicting pitcher ERA in KBO League.

Since 2009, a new method of computing the percentage of victories is being used in the regular league of the Korean professional baseball. This method produced enormous results from the first year of application, and also had an effect on the team standings in 2010. In this paper, we have examined the effects this method had on the Korean professional baseball in 2009 and 2010. We also have discussed what the Korea Baseball Organization need to complement in using this method and suggested complementary measures.

At the time the interest and love of the Korean professional baseball is increasing, the need for effective recruiting method rising. Recruiting existing methods were scheme based on expert evaluation, to obtain the players of each team. However, the existing method does not reflect only objective rating but also subjective way of school tie and delays are effect. Therefore the conventional method could not be the efficient. Therefore this paper analyze Korea baseball player's efficiency based on entire team and each team by using DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) method, and use this efficiency to discuss effective way of recruiting players. Finally, the validity of experiment is confirmed by the matters of actual sell of players who are scouted by experiment.

In baseball, estimation of winning percentage is critical and many studies for this topic have been actively performed. Pairwise winning percentage estimation using Pythagorean winning percentages of individual teams against other individual teams has the property that the sum of estimated winning percentage totals must be a constant. In this paper, we consider two types of pairwise estimation including linear formula and Pythagorean formula to the Korean baseball data of seasons from 2013 to 2016 under the criterions of RMSE and MAD. In conclusion, pairwise Pythagorean methods have the smaller RMSE and MAD than traditional Pythagorean methods. We suggest the optimal pairwise Pythagorean formula with a fixed exponent. Also we show that there are very little differences of RMSE and MAD between variation in exponent values.
