Abstract

Many baseball statistics do not take into account the skill level of the opponents. By adding weights to the opposing players, new statistics may be gathered concerning player performance with respect to the skill of the opponents. By using matrices and linear algebra, these weights may be determined for every pitcher and batter in Major League Baseball. These statistics can be used in the awarding of honors at the end of each season.
