The evaluation of the contribution of professional
baseball starting pitchers is a complex decisionmaking problem that
includes several quantitative attributes. It is considered a type of
multiattribute or multicriteria decision making (MADMMCDM)
problem. This study proposes a model using the Grey Relational
Analysis (GRA) to evaluate the starting pitcher contribution for teams
of the Chinese Professional Baseball League. The GRA calculates the
individual grey relational degree of each alternative to the positive
ideal alternative. An empirical analysis was conducted to show the use
of the model for the starting pitcher contribution problem. The results
demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed model.
