Utah Bob #35998 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Oh I’ve heard them talk about if for quite a while now. I still don’t understand most of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard an announcer mention OSP and looked that up and in the definition was "sabermetrics" so I had to look that up. I've probably heard the word before but it was just background blathering.

Beefcake Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 A good example of sabermetrics is in the movie Moneyball with Brad Pitt. Had to watch it for extra credit in a class for my MBA. It kind of explains it ok-ish. Basically, data analytics on how the player performs (hits, how many times the player gets on base, etc.) and then how to build a team around them. Created a lot of waves with the scouts, not sure how it is being used currently in professional baseball. But data analytics is becoming more prominent in a lot of other industries. I was an analyst for one of the heavy equipment dealers where I am located and even then, data analytics wasn't very well understood either.

Cyrus Cassidy #45437 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 They're a no kidding serious academic society. There are a lot of niche societies within the history discipline; this is just one of many. I was a member of the Society for the History of the Early American Republic for a while, as well as the Society of Civil War Historians. As much as I love baseball, I've never joined SABR.
