Sabermetrics is the present and future but teams now learn that communication is important too. in the first years teams would just throw the stat guys at the baseball people and it often produced conflicts, a baseball lifer is just not taking directions from a nerd. arrogance on both sides (nerds and baseball lifers) existed, that hurt communication.

in the first years the astros experimented with extreme shifts it caused a lot of clubhouse issues. because of this the astros got some baseball people with some stat understanding to communicate it to the baseball people and it worked out very well.

IMO the future is hiring baseball guys with some stat understanding to communicate the stuff, no big company lets IT and math guys talk to normal people. (I'm a certified SQL developer so I can say that)
