Speaker's Events
SSAC
2019 Conference
Baseball has been a constant through the years with limited innovation while the world of sports shifts around it.
SSAC
2021 Conference
This panel aims to examine the fine line between when to make managerial decisions on gut feel, versus when to stick to the data. Did the 2020 World Series serve as a catalyst for changes to the game going forward, or will managers shrug off pressure from the media?
