Thanks and I am honored. Any thoughts on the other applications for DS like college admissions or hiring.
I just started following but if you haven’t your should recommend the hidden game of baseball circa 1985. I’m from Chocago and they nailed the value of Ron Santo and the dearth of value from Andres Dawson.
I saw comments on the soft stuff there is research being done on group dynamics (ie chemistry). by Katerina Bezrukova and apparently many others. I love this stuff and as we learn more they will do different thing and we will perceive it differently.

I loved MB and it transformed how I think about many things, not just baseball..say like college admissions or hiring.

I often though it could be used at little league level. Coaches usually take a traditional approach to a line up. 1,2,3 then cleanup. With a three year spread the young guys mostly walked, my thought was you spread those who CAN hit between the little ones whose OBA is decent. At some point they used to record every pitch. I don’t know tat anyone was smart w Pugh to look at that data. Do you think there is merit on that? Could this be used by HS coaches to better understand the talent pool coming from the feeder programs?
