Bunting and Sacrificing in MLB Lauren McNulty and Drew Jack

Our Question:

Sacrificing The purpose of the sacrifice is to move a runner or runners over into scoring position at the cost of an out. The hope is that a stronger batter following the bunter will be able to more easily score the runner with a hit. Hypothesis: Teams that have a higher success rate of bunting or that use bunting more often have a better chance of scoring runs, and thus, of winning.

Sacrificing Over the Years (AL vs. NL)

Correlation with 2008 Season

Winning Percentage vs. Success Rate of Bunting

Adding Sac Flies to Sacrifice Hits

Year 2000 Winning Percentage:.599 Success Rate: 90.7 % For 2000, the Giants had the highest success rate of bunts and the highest winning percentage.

Conclusion According to our data, sacrifice hits appear to have little influence over the amount of total runs scored throughout the year and the winning percentage of a team. The amount of sacrifice hits has decreased over time, which has also led to a slight decrease in the influence that sacrificing has on a game.

Further Research Missing Variable Situational use of the sacrifice bunt Number of sacrifice hits was used instead of success rate for some of the data Looked at whole season rather than particular innings in which a sacrifice occurred
