New graph representation analyzes baseball pitching strategy

Researchers have developed Unified Pitch Graphs (UPG), a novel hierarchical graph representation designed to analyze baseball pitching strategies. UPG captures each pitch as an individual event with its precise trajectory and context, linking consecutive pitches to reveal sequential patterns. This method allows for retrospective analysis across different semantic and temporal resolutions, improving the reconstruction of pitch execution and identifying subtle strategy variations that traditional methods miss. AI

IMPACT This new graph representation could enable more nuanced analysis of sequential data in various fields beyond baseball.

    Unified Pitch Graphs for Diagnosing Pitching Strategy

    Pitching strategy in baseball is expressed through both physical execution and the ordered context in which pitches are used, yet common representations collapse pitches into discrete types or aggregate statistics. We present Unified Pitch Graphs (UPG), a hierarchical graph repre…
