Centerfielder exam

Turn your cell phones off. Write your answers legibly and show your work if you want partial credit for wrong answers.

Question 1. In a nine-inning game, how many times does the centerfielder have an opportunity to make an out?

Question 2. In a week with six games, how many times does the centerfielder handle the ball?

Question 3. The Louisville Losers have two centerfielders. One has an outstanding zone rating of .901. The other has a poor zone rating of .847. In other words, the first will field 90.1% of the balls hit into what STATS defines as the centerfielder's zone, while the second will field 84.7% of those balls. In a week of six games, how many times would the good centerfielder get to balls that the bad centerfielder would not?

You may consult this table.
