Catcher Search and Performance Prediction

Prediction Methodology

This system predicts future performance of Catchers using the following methods:

  • Based on recent MLB Catcher data
  • Deep learning autoencoder to learn league-wide trends
  • Analysis of player's historical season data to extract characteristics
  • Prediction model combining league trends and individual characteristics
  • Model trained to minimize Mean Squared Error (MSE)

Important Notes

  • 2020 was a shortened season due to COVID-19, including it may lead to over/under-estimation
  • Prediction accuracy may be lower for players with inconsistent season-to-season performance
  • This system uses position-specific data only, so position changes may affect actual performance
  • Prediction accuracy may be lower for utility players who play multiple positions
  • We continuously improve our prediction models with more data and algorithm refinements
