About the Book

Have you ever wondered how the feats of today's baseball stars - playing in an era of rampant steroid use, smaller ballparks and "juiced" baseballs - compare with those of Babe Ruth, Roger Maris and other old-time greats? Z-score: How a Statistic Used in Psychology Will Revolutionize Baseball presents a game-changing approach for comparing the greatest achievements in baseball history using a statistic common to psychological testing: the z-score. Written by Dr. John G. Cottone, a clinical psychologist and researcher with a long history of peer-reviewed research publications, and Jason Wirchin, a TV news producer and baseball enthusiast, Z-score provides analyses and insight that will fascinate old school baseball fans and new wave sabermetricians alike.
About the Author: John G. Cottone, PhD: Dr. John G. Cottone is a clinical psychologist in private practice in Stony Brook, NY. He received his Ph.D. in clinical psychology from St. John's University and previously earned a master's degree in biopsychology from Stony Brook University. He is the author of numerous peer-reviewed research publications, including articles and book chapters on topics in psychology, psychiatry and neuroscience. He is the author of a 2013 self-help book entitled Who Are You? Essential Questions for Hitchhikers on the Road of Truth (Story Bridge Books) and has had vocational and avocational contributions to The New York Times and The Washington Post. He is also an avid baseball fan, a member of Red Sox Nation, and was a four-year scholar-athlete at Dowling College, where he pitched on the school's baseball team. Jason Wirchin: Jason Wirchin earned his B.A. in Political Science, along with a Minor in Journalism, from Stony Brook University in 2010. He is currently a television news producer for News 12 The Bronx, and has also established himself as a digital content producer with the News 12 Networks. He has been published several times by both national and local papers, including The New York Times, New York Daily News and Newsday; and is a frequent caller to WFAN. Jason takes great pride in the history of our national pastime and is a religious fan of the New York Mets. The eldest of three, he grew up in Huntington Station, Long Island and lives with his wife, Ellen, in New York City.
