In-Class Assignment 11

Which of the following is most likely to be a topic of Sabermetric research? Why?

A. Evaluating how the attitude of managers influences player performance

B. Determining the correlation between scouting predictions and player performance

C. Predicting how many home runs the Oakland A’s will hit next year

I believe C would most likely be a topic of Sabermetric because Sabermetrics is the empirical analysis of baseball. It specifically focuses on baseball statistics that measure in-game activity. A & B are examples of anecdotal/logical evidence, while C is empirical.
