In college baseball, the use of the Internet to collect information about opponents began almost a decade ago. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In recent years, due to the popularity of live webcasts, it has become easy to collect video materials for local conventions in areas such as Tokyo.

However, to organize the game video into valuable data, so far it is still necessary to rely on human means.

"It's going to take a lot of effort to sort out the 25-split strike data. There are also batting results with different ball counts......"

Li Yuanrang looked at the printed materials in his hand and felt incredible.

Tian Gu, who is in charge of data collection and analysis, does not seem to be so diligent.

"It's also with the help of everyone."

"Everyone?"

For a private powerhouse like Zhide Shang, the members of the department who do not have a back number will play a variety of specialties to help the team win.

In terms of data analysis, crowd tactics can often be easily activated.

And there are no such conditions on the side of the Peace Academy.。

Don't say it's a few more players than the starting nine. Managers and coaches don't seem to be good at this kind of thing, either.

So who is this "everyone"?

"It's everyone I met on the Internet. If the opponent is someone else, it may be really difficult to mobilize them. But as soon as I heard that I was going to analyze Ochiai Fukumitsu's weaknesses, the whole group had a fighting spirit. ”

Tian Guwu joined several groups related to college baseball on social networking sites and instant messengers. It's not new, but I've been doing it since I was in middle school.

He used some of the exclusive information he had to build up a certain prestige. In turn, I also collect the information I want through the friends I met there.

Fukumitsu Ochiai is the most talked-about figure among college hitters this year. Because of this, everyone is interested in analyzing Ochiai's data.

Based on publicly available video footage, a detailed report on Fukumitsu Ochiai was soon released.

Tagu printed out the documents on a printer and brought them into the rest area of the competition, where electronic devices could not be used.

"Actually, I'm going to organize everyone to do some information about other fighters, but not everyone has so many FAN...... in Ochiai."

"You're saying that the people who helped analyze the data were the FAN of Fukuman Ochiai? But they don't know that this report can be used as a tool to defeat Ochiai? ”

"Maybe it's not quite accurate to use the word FAN. It should be said that some college baseball enthusiasts are optimistic about the future development of Ochiai. If you want to be strong in the future, you have to overcome your weaknesses now. When you are in the first grade, you can expose your shortcomings so that you can grow in the future. I think that's what these people think......"

Li Yuanrang nodded after listening to what Tian Gu said. Then begin to immerse yourself in the information at hand.

On the field, Ichihei Fukushima had a strikeout. And Akio Yabe quickly turned the ball count into two good and one bad.

This game of the School of Peace's attack will end at any time. There wasn't much time left for Li Yuanrang.

"Can you give me a simple hint about which part is faster if you want to find a countermeasure right away?"

Recently, he became a catcher, and Li Yuanrang specialized in learning some ways to read and use data. However, in the previous game, due to the lack of information of the opponent, Li Yuanrang mainly gave priority to the situation of his own pitcher in terms of ball matching.

The opponent's profile can only be judged by some general or first impression content. These things can't be called "data".

"I suggest you take a look at the section on Count. Especially the one after two good shots. ”

Count actually refers to the count of good and bad balls. In terms of statistics or ball profiles. Count mainly refers to the performance of hitters or pitchers with different good and bad ball counts.

Li Yuanrang turned to the corresponding content according to Tian Gu's prompt.

"It's just an official competition, so there aren't so many samples."

It seems that there are more match stats recorded in it than the four or five games of the previous summer conference can provide.

"Practice matches are also counted. There is also an IT department on the German side. They installed action cameras and cameras on their own courts for webcasting, so they also have data for more than a dozen practice games. ”

The live broadcast of Zhide Shang uses the general public live broadcast platform, but in fact, there are not too many viewers. But there are still some interested college baseball fans who have made the video.

This information circulates in a small circle. Tian Guwu relied on the information of the "betrayal" of his team in exchange, and he was smoothly mixed in.

"Isn't this revealing your strength......"

"Anyway, there is more than one school that does this kind of broadcasting now."

In fact, Tako didn't greet the players, but only obtained the consent of Mr. Sato and Captain Fukushima, and some of the games held in the Peace School Park's own stadium were also broadcast live on the Internet.

……

In the seventh game, Li Yuanrang successfully let the opponent go up and down three times.

No, a hit to be exact, followed by a double kill.

All in all, it pushed back another matchup between him and Ochiai to the top of the eighth.

Nothing has changed in terms of scores. If the School of Peace wants to win the game, at least the lead can no longer be extended by the opponent in terms of points.

Before starting to match the ball, Li Yuanrang silently read the data he had just seen.

Contrary to the impression given in the game, the probability of Fukuman Ochiai swinging the bat on the first ball was actually more than 50%.

And in the case of the first goal, it is only in the case of the first goal. The area with the lowest striking percentage is actually the high inside corner that many strong hits are good at.

Lee Wonrang attacked this with a speedball. A single air vibration was successfully obtained.

Then there's an inside curve.

Although due to the lack of sample, according to statistics, Ochiai's selection of the inside corner low ball is not very accurate.

A bad ball with a bad inside corner has a 70% chance of being knocked out of bounds.

The high probability of this abnormality made Li Yuanrang hesitate when he made this decision.

As a result, the baseball flew into the left field stand, and the out-of-bounds position was infinitely close to the home run benchmark.

It was a bit of a fluke that the ball ended up being able to form a throw-in.

"If you play against Ochiai, the show will start after two good balls."

This is what Tian Gu said to Li Yuanrang in the rest area just now.

He did not come to this conclusion alone. It is the result of a joint analysis by a group of college baseball fans who pay attention to Fukuman Ochiai on the Internet.

After two good balls, the pitcher has three bad balls in his hand to use as chips. Hitters are often ashamed of being struck out, and their tendency to swing the baton when striking will also increase.

In this case, using an outside corner ball or a high ball to induce the batter to swing is an option that the average shooting partner will make.

In the previous game, Li Yuanrang did the same.

But according to the statistics that I just saw. This tactic is completely useless against Fukuman Ochiai. There is even the opposite effect.
