Big Data Baseball is the story of how the 2013 Pirates, mired in the longest losing streak in North American pro sports history, adopted drastic bigdata strategies to end the drought, make the playoffs, and turn around the franchises fortunes.Big Data Baseball is Moneyball for a new generation. Awardwinning journalist Travis Sawchik takes you behind the scenes to expertly weave together the stories of the key figures who changed the way the Pirates played the game, revealing how a culture of collaboration and creativity flourished as whizkid analysts worked alongside graybeard coaches to revolutionize the sport and uncover groundbreaking insights for how to win more games without spending a dime.From pitch framing to onfield shifts, this entertaining and enlightening underdog story closely examines baseballs burgeoning big data movement and demonstrates how the millions of data points which arent immediately visible to players and spectators, are the bit of magic that led the Pirates to finish the 2013 season in second place and brought an end to a twentyyear losing streak.
