Smart Baseball

Více o knize

The book explores the ongoing debate between traditional baseball statistics and the emerging field of sabermetrics, which offers a more analytical approach to evaluating player performance. It highlights the persistence of outdated metrics like batting averages and saves, as many fans and commentators cling to them despite the rise of more sophisticated, data-driven methods. The tension between relying on statistical analysis versus human intuition in assessing players' contributions is a central theme, reflecting a broader struggle within the baseball community.
