Are stuff models just memorizing pitchers?
One fun test is to make the model predict pitcher names (instead of ERA).
With @TJStats tjStuff+, we get a 49% accuracy using a *single* pitch, and 73% using the whole season.
(And tjStuff+ is less overfit than others!)
So theoretically at most 73% of the predictiveness is banking on prior season results (RV, xwOBA, etc.)
I’m more of a baseball guy.
being inspired by 82-0 I decided to make a baseball version called Chasin’ 117.
Build a squad. Break the record.
Check it out and share! I’d greatly appreciate it.
