1. 1. Astroball

   The New Way to Win It All

   

   A behind-the-scenes account of how the Houston Astros rebuilt from the league’s basement to a 2017 championship by blending rigorous data analytics with traditional scouting and character evaluation. It traces bold front-office experiments—strategic losing to accumulate draft capital, underslot draft maneuvers like selecting Carlos Correa, the adoption of predictive models, and high-impact acquisitions such as Justin Verlander—while highlighting the development of players like José Altuve and George Springer. The result is a study in decision-making, culture, and risk, showing how numbers and human insight together can forge a sustained edge.
