This paper introduces a new Baseball Statistical Model, Swing Quality Factors (SQF), we analyze the game from the batter's perspective which will be a new concept to help simplifying the decision making process for the pitchers. Using pitch count, pitch location, pitch type and velocity to calculate the correlation between each pitch. The biggest breakthrough of this project comparing to the previous research is that after a great amount of data have been collected, we will be able to predict the probability of swing quality factor by using JMP 13 statistic software. With this model, various applications are considered which will be the new insights that could benefit both pitchers and hitters.
