It then introduces several powerful statistical tools for understanding data and forecasting results.For the uninitiated baseball fan, author Joseph Adler walks readers through the core statistical categories for hitters (batting average, on-base percentage, etc.), pitchers (earned run average, strikeout-to-walk ratio, etc.), and fielders (putouts, errors, etc.). He then extrapolates upon these numbers to examine more advanced data groups like career averages, team stats, season-by-season comparisons, and more. Whether you're a mathematician, scientist, or season-ticket holder to your favorite team, Baseball Hacks is sure to have something for you.Advance praise for Baseball Hacks:"Baseball Hacks is the best book ever written for understanding and practicing baseball analytics. A must-read for baseball professionals and enthusiasts alike."-- Ari Kaplan, database consultant to the Montreal Expos, San Diego Padres, and Baltimore Orioles"The game was born in the 19th century, but the passion for its analysis continues to grow into the 21st.
