Monte Carlo Baseball Simulation:

Description | Downloads | Documentation | Mailing Lists | Develop

Description

This is a Monte Carlo simulation of Major League Baseball(TM), used to find the best strategies in a baseball game.
Strategies such as different batting orders, sacrifices, hit-and-runs, and the addition of one super-star can be tested.

For an overview of Monte Carlo, please check out The Basics Of Monte Carlo Simulations.
This program was written to test some of the hypotheses set forth in Percentage Baseball by Earnshaw Cook (1966). If you are interested in reading more about baseball strategy in this book, the best place to look is a local university library.

If you would like to see a sample simulation I did using this program, read a report I did on batting orders and superstars in Microsoft Word Format or AbiWord Format.
