In this paper, we provide a suitable optimal exponent in the generalized Pythagorean theorem and propose to use the logistic model & the probit model to estimate the winning rate in Korean professional baseball league. Under a criterion of root-mean-square-error (RMSE), the efficiencies of the proposed models have been compared with those of the Pythagorean theorem. We use the team historic win-loss records of Korean professional baseball league from 1982 to the first half of 2015, and the proposed methods show slight outperformances over the generalized Pythagorean method under the criterion of RMSE.

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.

The purpose of this study was to prove a development and initial validation of the korean version of coach-athlete relationship maintenance scale that originated from the work of Rhind & Jowett(2012) in pro baseball. The items were then administered to 132 Participants(29 coaches and 103 athletes) completed the questionnaires of the coach-athlete relationship maintenance in First preliminary investigation. Maximum likelihood estimate was used to identify the latent underlying structure. In order to verify the validity of Korean version of coach-athlete relationship maintenance was administered to an independent sample of 273 coaches and athletes. Pro baseball coach-athlete relationship maintenance is consisted of six factors(25 items) with conflict management, motivational, preventative, openness/assurance, support, and social network. SPSS18.0 and AMOS16.0 were used to analyze the exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factory analysis and internal consistency, test-retest with bootstrapping using of the data in this study. The results of the pro baseball coach-athlete relationship maintenance scale had six factors with 25 items, and each six factor was positively correlated. Overall, this study verified pro baseball coach-athlete relationship maintenance questionnaire. Thus, suggest that path of comparing the differences between the first division and farm team by using the test of the structural model invariance across the groups.

This paper offers some long term perspective on what has been happening to some baseball statistics for Korean professional baseball. The data used are league summaries by year over the period 1982-2013. For the baseball statistics, statistically significant positive correlations (p < 0.01) were found for doubles (2B), runs batted in (RBI), bases on balls (BB), strike outs (SO), grounded into double play (GIDP), hit by pitch (HBP), on base percentage (OBP), OPS, earned run average (ERA), wild pitches (WP) and walks plus hits divided by innings pitched (WHIP) increased with year. There was a statistically significant decreasing trend in the correlations for triples (3B), caught stealing (CS), errors (E), completed games (CG), shutouts (SHO) and balks (BK) with year (trend p < 0.01). The ARIMA model of Box-Jenkins is applied to find a model to forecast future baseball measures. Univariate time series results suggest that simple lag-1 models fit some baseball measures quite well. In conclusion, the single most important change in Korean professional baseball is the overall incidence of completed games (CG) downward. Also the decrease of strike outs (SO) is very remarkable.

야구는 데이터 스포츠라 불릴 만큼 경기마다 많은 데이터가 생성되며, 이를 바탕으로 경기를 진행한다. 본 연구는 한국 프로야구 구단인 한화 이글스의 승률 및 타자의 성적과 날씨 사이의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 한화 이글스의 승률과 타자의 성적을 한국프로야구(KBO) 공식 홈페이지 및 야구 기록 통계사이트 스탯티즈(statiz)에서 수집하였으며, 날씨 데이터는 온도와 습도를 고려한 불쾌지수 데이터를 기상청으로 부터 수집하였다. 파이선의 pandas 라이브러리를 사용하여 데이터 전처리를 실행하였다. 이후 파이선의 matplotlib 라이브러리를 이용하여 데이터 분석 및 시각화를 진행하였다. 본 연구의 분석 결과로는 불쾌지수가 보통일 때 승률이 가장 크고 높음일 때 가장 낮음을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 타자들의 평균 성적을 분석한 결과 보통과 매우 높음은 전체적인 타격 지수가 비슷하나 높음일 때 부진한 것으로 나왔다.

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 significance of leisure activities is highlighted, and professional baseball games, which featured the 2008 Beijing Olympics gold medal, are very popular. In recent years, along with the revenue from broadcasting, the club has been trying to gain revenue by developing various licensing products and merchandising products. However, sports related products are more advanced than Japanese professional baseball teams in Korea, and there is a lot of revenue from product sales. We want to compare the difference between the two countries sales of their products.

Every baseball game generates various records and on the basis of those records, win/lose prediction about the next game is carried out. Researches on win/lose predictions of professional baseball games have been carried out, but there are not so good results yet. Win/lose prediction is very difficult because the choice of features on win/lose predictions among many records is difficult and because the complexity of a learning model is increased due to overlapping factors among the data used in prediction. In this paper, learning features were chosen by opinions of baseball experts and a heuristic function was formed using the chosen features. We propose a hybrid model by creating a new value which can affect predictions by combining multiple features, and thus reducing a dimension of input value which will be used for backpropagation learning algorithm. As the experimental results show, the complexity of backpropagation was reduced and the accuracy of win/lose predictions on professional baseball games was improved.

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.
