Selection of a qualified pitcher has relied previously on qualitative indices; here, both quantitative and qualitative indices including pitching statistics, defense, mental skills, experience, and managers' recognition were collected, and an analytic hierarchy process was used to rank baseball pitchers. The participants were 8 experts who ranked characteristics and statistics of 15 baseball pitchers who comprised the first round of potential representatives for the Chinese Taipei National Baseball team. The results indicated a selection rate that was 91% consistent with the official national team roster, as 11 pitchers with the highest scores who were recommended as optimal choices to be official members of the Chinese Tai-pei National Baseball team actually participated in the 2009 Baseball World Cup. An analytic hierarchy can aid in selection of qualified pitchers, depending on situational and practical needs; the method could be extended to other sports and team-selection situations.
选拔合格的投手以前依赖于定性指标；在这里，收集了包括投球统计数据、防守、心理技能、经验和经理认可在内的定量和定性指标，并使用层次分析法对棒球投手进行排名。参与者是 8 名专家，他们对组成中华台北国家棒球队第一轮潜在代表的 15 名棒球投手的特征和统计数据进行了排名。结果表明，选拔率与官方国家队名单的一致性为 91%，因为推荐的得分最高的 11 名投手作为中华台北国家棒球队的正式成员实际上参加了 2009 年棒球世界杯。层次分析法可以根据情况和实际需要帮助选拔合格的投手；该方法可以扩展到其他运动和团队选择情况。
