Every MLB club has an analytics dept. Just like players and scouts, some better than others.

Astros didn't have to worry about Correa dropping to them because they had the first pick of the draft that year and selected Correa. Had nothing to do with analytics, he was the best prospect in my mind. Twins took Buxton with the second pick and he was the second best prospect, actually the best in most scouts opinion. Correa signed below slot which allowed Astros enough money to draft and sign McCullers.

I'm 100% on board with all the new technology and metrics. The more information available the better. But baseball is played by human beings. We all know that human beings are not perfect or even all that predictable at times. They don't improve equally and they don't even care equally. For sure some perform better under pressure than others.
