The MVP machine : how baseball's new nonconformists are using data to build better players / Ben Lindbergh & Travis Sawchik. by Lindbergh, Ben, author. New York : Basic Books, 2019. Subjects Baseball -- United States.   Baseball players -- United States.   Baseball teams -- United States.   Baseball -- Statistical methods.   Baseball -- Mathematical models. ISBN:  9781541698949 (hardcover) : 1541698940 (hardcover) : Description:  viii, 374 pages : illustrations ; 25 cm Edition:  First edition. Requests:  1 Summary:  "[T]he Moneyball era is over. Fifteen years after Michael Lewis brought the Oakland Athletics' groundbreaking team-building strategies to light, every front office takes a data-driven approach to evaluating players, and the league's smarter teams no longer have a huge advantage in valuing past performance. Lindbergh and Sawchik's behind-the-scenes reporting reveals: How the 2017 Astros and 2018 Red Sox used cutting-edge technology to win the World Series ; How undersized afterthoughts José Altuve and Mookie Betts became big sluggers and MVPs ; How polarizing pitcher Trevor Bauer made himself a Cy Young contender ; How new analytical tools have overturned traditional pitching and hitting techniques ; How a wave of young talent is making MLB both better than ever and arguably worse to watch. Instead of out-drafting, out-signing, and out-trading their rivals, baseball's best minds have turned to out-developing opponents, gaining greater edges than ever by perfecting prospects and eking extra runs out of older athletes who were once written off. Lindbergh and Sawchik take us inside the transformation of former fringe hitters into home-run kings, show how washed-up pitchers have emerged as aces, and document how coaching and scouting are being turned upside down. The MVP Machine charts the future of a sport and offers a lesson that goes beyond baseball: Success stems not from focusing on finished products, but from making the most of untapped potential."--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 796.37564 Li Transit Request Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 796.37564 Li Checked In Add Copy to MyList
