The science and technology of baseball / by John Allen.

Allen, John, 1957- (author.).

Summary:
"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"-- Provided by publisher.
