First Pitch is an MBA style case competition designed to provide graduate students with a fun, dynamic, and competitive learning experience to gain exposure to sports business issues.
Information on the 2023 competition TBA.
The 2022 competition’s case was provided by our sponsor, SponsorPulse™, and judged by a panel of esteemed professionals across the sports industry. Three finalists were selected to present at SSAC.
For reference previous First Pitch Competitions are available on YouTube.
Teams must consist of up to three current students from the same graduate program. All team members must be registered and have paid for the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference (SSAC) at the time of registering for First Pitch. There will be no additional fee to participate in First Pitch.
Contestants should leverage SponsorPulse to address the case; access will be provided after registration closes. Students may use any research tools or data available to them, if necessary, as well. Teams may use supporting external data in their presentations (citations required). However, all main ideas must be the unique ideas of only the team members involved.
Plagiarism will result in disqualification. Team members may not consult with any other individuals (including other students, other teams, or experts in the field). Legal PEDs (e.g., coffee, soda, and other caffeinated beverages) are permitted.
The competition will occur in two rounds. In the first round each team will submit a PowerPoint presentation in both PowerPoint and PDF format. The presentation may not exceed 15 slides including introduction, conclusion, and appendices.
Our panel of judges will select three teams to participate in the final round during the 2022 MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference in Boston. In the final round teams will present their presentations live to the judges and prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place.
The Sloan Sports Analytics Conference Mentorship Program is focused on women and black undergraduate students, graduate students, and those early in their career with interest in a sports career. The Sloan Sports Analytics Conference is committed to elevating and broadening diversity in sports.
Thank you to the mentorship program presenting sponsor MLB, and our supporting sponsors Wasserman, Fanatics, Ticketmaster, Eventellect, Alteryx, Arctos, and the Eugene Lang Foundation.
