Incheon SK baseball stadium, Munhak Baseball Stadium

I am 100% sure that Munhak Baseball Stadium is the best stadium in Korea in all aspects.

It's not only constructed recently but also has many good facilities and has been managed well.

I'm going to introduce some popular types of grandstands in Munhak stadium today.

I'll also post other facilities later. When I get a chance ^^;

This is a picture of Munhak Stadium.

SK fans can consider those seats from No.1 to No.5

If you are not the SK fan, oops...please be careful not to take a seat those area.

You would get attacked by SK fans. The other side is for away fans. Don't confuse it. !!

OK, now..I'll show some interesting seats from No.5

Barbecue Zone

 You should reserve this seat at 10,000 won. I think it's resonable price.

 You can bring your own foods and also buy meats at the store inside the stadium.
 If you buy meat, the store staffs set the cooking equipments for you.

 The barbecue table can handle 4 to 8 people and it's the most popular place in Munhak.

 Now,, other baseball stadiums are benchmarking this ^^

Green Zone

 Green zone is opened from last year.

 I guess that it's one of the green marketting plans and benchmarked MLB stadiums.

 Parents who have kids are really like this because it gives childern a free place to run and play.

 There is also a traditional rest place, won-doo-mak. it's good for big family.

Sabermetrics

Sabermetrics is the analysis of baseball through objective, empirical evidence, especially baseball statistics that measure in-game activity rather than industry activity such as attendance. The term is derived from the acronym SABR, which stands for the Society for American Baseball Research. It was coined by Bill James, who was one of its pioneers and is often considered its most prominent advocate and public face

Historical Baseball Abstract by Bill James

As you know, Baseball is a sport of records.

During the game, player's all play like strike, ball, foul ball, out, everything is recorded. 

If this records are saved and piled more and more over three to four years,  they will be a trust-worthy data.

Sabermetrics is just it and sabermetricians want to evaluate players through the data.

Bill James is the most famous sabermetrician.

These days, the data is used as a important evidence for negotiating player's salary. 

The Sabermetric Manifesto by David Grabiner (1994) begins:

Bill James defined sabermetrics as "the search for objective knowledge about baseball." Thus, sabermetrics attempts to answer objective questions about baseball, such as "which player on the Red Sox contributed the most to the team's offense?" or "How many home runs will Ken Griffey hit next year?" It cannot deal with the subjective judgments which are also important to the game, such as "Who is your favorite player?" or "That was a great game."

This is one kind of date about rival team players. Coaching staff members can think of various

plans using this data.

Following is What is considered about Sabermetrics.

• Base Runs (BsR)
• Defense Independent Pitching Statistics (DIPS)
• Equivalent average (EQA)
• Fantasy Batter Value (FBV)
• Late-inning pressure situations (LIPS)
• On-base plus slugging (OPS)
• PECOTA
• Peripheral ERA (PERA)
• Pythagorean expectation
• Range Factor
• Runs created
• Secondary average
• Similarity score
• Speed Score
• Super linear weights
• Total player rating (aka PW/BFW)
• Value over replacement player (VORP)
• Win shares

The results of Sabermetrics is easily shared on the internet sites.

Basic baseball Tips

Basic Baseball Tips



Do you like baseball? ^^
I love baseball~!! but I've only watched baseball games not playing baseball myself.
I'd like to play baseball and someday want to join social baseball club.
I found some basic baseball tips.
It looks like for kids......but, I don't care because my baseball skills should be worse than baseball kids..^^

Oh, now, I'd like to go outside and throw the ball !!
by the way, How fast can you throw the ball?
I never checked the speed myself, but you can check your ball speed in SK Wyverns stadium. There is a pitching and batting zone for fans.

The fastest a baseball has ever been thrown, verified by a radar gun and accepted by Major League Baseball, was thrown by Aroldis Chapman a left handed relief pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds on September 25, 2010. A major league fastball goes from about 88 miles per hour on the low end up over 100 MPH on the high end. There are plenty of pitchers, particularly left handed pitchers, whose fastball doesn't get over 84 or 85 MPH. To put this in perspective, Aroldis Chapman's off speed pitch, his slider, comes in over 90 MPH.

1mph = 1.609km/h       80mph = 129km/h        95mph = 153km/h

Sometimes, I go to the batting center. It's fun for me to hit the balls.
This is a good way of blowing stress ^^
However, without proper learning, batting can be danger for your muscles or joints.
I was suffered from the pain at my rib after batting hard.
So, enjoy your batting and pitching with no pain through above instructions!

H2 - baseball comic book

Today, I want to post my favorite comic book. The name is H2 

H2 is actually the stroy of 4 young high school students rather than the stroy of baseball.

o.,o Story //

best friends since junior high who are awesome baseball players fall for the same girl, Hikari, who happens to be the main character, Hiro’s childhood friend. However, Hiro only learned that he liked Hikari after he played cupid between Hikari and his best friend, Hideo. The story goes on revolving around the relationship between the 3, the people around them and baseball. It eventually ends of with the 2 Hs (which explains why the title is H2), Hiro and Hideo facing off in a cliche pitcher vs batter duel at the holy baseball ground, Koushien.

 

When I first glenced this comic, I thought that the painting style is too simple.

However, the more I read it the more I hooked on the style, humor and passion of it.

The writer of this book,Adachi Mitsuru, Japanese, is very clever and humorous. He draws pictures very detailly and well catchs the change of subtle emotion in his character.

I recomand all his works. ( especially Lough, Swim comic )

writer / Adachi Mitsuru

This comic was also made as a TV drama and animation serises.

http://www.tbs.co.jp/H2/

The animation was made long time ago and I think the animaiton failed to express the quality of original comic but, the original comic book is really good. Have a look at this^^
