March 01, 2022 • Sam Robertson, David Whiteside & Austin Driggers • Season 4 • Episode 32

Baseball is often viewed as one of the more traditional team sports. However, it’s recently been at the forefront of the analytics revolution in sport and is one of the most data rich, technology adoptive sports out there.

This week’s episode has something for everyone – whether they're a baseball fan or not.
Host Sam Robertson is joined by New York Yankees Director of Performance Science, David Whiteside and Kansas City Royals Senior Director of Performance Science, Austin Driggers.

Amongst other topics, they discuss the big performance problems that baseball is most well equipped to answer, the importance of collaboration outside of sport, and even injury prediction gets another mention!
