Moneyball

Moneyball is a strategy used by baseball teams to build a competitive roster by focusing on undervalued player statistics rather than traditional scouting methods. Instead of relying on popular metrics or personal judgments, the team analyzes detailed data to identify players who perform well in ways that aren’t usually emphasized, like getting on base or avoiding outs. This approach allows teams with limited budgets to find cost-effective players who contribute significantly, challenging conventional wisdom and emphasizing efficiency and evidence-based decision-making in assembling a successful team.
