| Description: | For the [outcome] of the Game All games, whether they require a ball, a stick, pen and paper, or a controller, require study to master, and the way we master them can change over time. Before the rise of sabermetrics, professional baseball scouts often looked at batting averages or slugging percentage when evaluating hitting talent, but afterwards shifted to metrics like on-base percentage. This course will examine how analytics across several professional sports have changed since the rise of data-driven results in the early 2000's. We'll hopefully answer questions like "Why did sabermetrics work well for the Oakland A's, but terribly for the Cleveland Browns?" or "How do we translate games above replacement to a salary among NBA players?" Be ready to learn some statistics and understand why your favorite team makes terrible decisions based on data! |
