Publisher's Synopsis
"Analytics is the process of finding patterns in data to aid in making better decisions. Baseball is well suited to analytics because it produces lots of data for each game--as in mountains of data, about hits, runs, pitches, catches, swings, misses, and every other action that takes place inside the ballpark. Front offices in baseball swear by the new data-driven approach, making it key to their hiring practices. Often the science of analytics dovetails perfectly with great athletic skill. The new tools provide a clearer picture of what skills and strategies are most effective in winning baseball games"--.
