Big Data Baseball by Travis Sawchik

A lively, behind-the-scenes account of how a major-league club embraced analytics to punch above its financial weight, transforming scouting, defensive positioning and in-game strategy through data-driven decision making; the book follows front-office and coaching figures as they wrestle with tradition, use new metrics and technology to identify undervalued players, and change the way the game is understood and played.
