Baseball Sabermetrics: The Windy City’s Best Magnum Start Value (MSV)

Related Topics: Sabermetrics, Baseball

For the past few years, there have been several All-Star starting pitchers toeing the rubber in the city of Chicago. Since Magnum Start Value (MSV) is a formula that measures pitchers by their dominance on the mound, it makes sense to perform a study on three of the towns best over the past two seasons. While one is now gone, I will focus on Chris Sale (Red Sox), Jose Quintana (White Sox), and Jake Arrieta (Cubs).

While looking at an entire season for all three would be overkill at the moment, there is no reason why analyzing one month of each is not reasonable.
