The Grind Collective: Trying to Find a Place for Your Data

Will, Daniel and Johnny are back with a new episode of the Grind Collective, piping hot and chock full of data. We discuss Opening Day and the things we enjoy most about this time of the baseball season, before diving into our main topic regarding the balance of data and feel. We discuss how we, and practically everyone else, incorporate data into our work, give our own definitions for “feel,” and what we envision to be best practices to blend old school vs. new school. Give it a listen, it’ll make you feel good!

The Grind Collective is an ongoing discussion about the game of baseball from three people that are in the thick of it. Join amateur scouting writer Will Hoefer (Prospects Live), analytics staffer Daniel Garcia (Prospects Live, Virginia Baseball Analytics) and right-handed pitcher Johnny Davis (Prospects Live, Assumption Baseball) as they discuss their on-going interactions with the game of baseball during “the grind.” Additionally, each episode will have a main topic related to the game of baseball.
