@asmae_toumi @Stat_Ron To an extent. There’s certainly an interest in keeping advanced data proprietary, but I also think it’s natural evolution. Teams like the Rays and Dodgers invest 10+ person-years into analytics each year, so it’s hard for individuals to keep up.

@Stat_Ron @asmae_toumi The challenge with the current baseball analytics landscape is that there’s a growing divide between public and proprietary research, so it’s harder to stand out based on the former.

@Stat_Ron @asmae_toumi Totally agree with everything here. That was in the context of discussing ways that individuals can differentiate themselves as sports analytics candidates, either through public research, advanced degrees, and/or strong experience in tech.

Some ~personal news~: Wednesday was my last day at APT/@mastercard. On Monday, I start work as an Analytics Engineer at @ZelusAnalytics in Austin! Really psyched to get back into the sports analytics game and work with the incredible team that's being built there.

‘Tis the season for joy and reflection, and I couldn’t be happier with the team we’ve built @ZelusAnalytics. It’s been an amazing journey so far. I’m excited for new challenges in 2020 as we develop the MLB intelligence platform for six partner teams and expand into other sports.

Thanks, @jphoornstra. It was great talking to you about various paths for innovation in baseball and how @ZelusAnalytics fits into those trends. This is an exciting time to be working in sports, with many new data sources and technologies on the horizon!

I love writing about interesting behind-the-scenes baseball people and their ideas. I hate that teams employ talented analysts who rarely get the recognition they deserve. All of which is to say, here's a story about the future of baseball: buff.ly/2Ew6pO7

@tangotiger As a childhood Dodger fan, I vividly remember where I was at that moment. If not for Vin Scully (generally) and Kirk Gibson’s home run (specifically), my career would have followed a very different path.

@mressler I did, and it tasted just like I remembered. I decided to lean into the nostalgia and had Primanti Bros last night. What sandwich isn’t better when you add coleslaw, fries, and a fried egg?

@DougFearing Did you hit up Mad Mex? How did it hold up? Having been here since college, my data is skewed, but I think Union Grill has held up well :-)

Heading to the Burgh to attend #CMSAC @CarnegieMellon, the place where it all began. So many great memories from my time there as an undergrad.

Yesterday, I completed Beyond Diversity, a two-day seminar offered by Leadership Austin. I'm hopeful that I'll be able to apply some of the valuable lessons to my own work and life, and I'd highly recommend signing up for a future session. kut.org/post/mayor-wan…
