Sabermetrics and college baseball isn't just for players | High School Baseball Web

Since my PO went off to college I'd ask questions about practice and get answers I did not understand about spin rate and what they were working on with his slider, etc. So finally he sent me this link to try to explain the analytics behind what he's doing.

Thought some of you might be interested in you tube channel he shared, partly for the amazing role technology is playing in the game, and partly because this is being produced by a college baseball manager. Clearly, the players aren't the only ones hoping to move on to the next level.

A relatively new question for young recruits to ask when they're looking at colleges... What kind of tech do you have, and how will it help me improve my game?

It's amazing. Son said he has learned more in a little over a semester about baseball and pitching than he would have learned at other places in four years. The amount of data gathered is phenomenal, but what's even more impressive is how they use it.

If you are a college coach and you cannot intelligently answer a recruits question on the use of analytics, you are at a recruiting disadvantage.

I still don’t understand what swordfighting has to do with baseball. Wouldn’t it be better to just yell at the kids? Maybe baseball is different?
