Aaron S. Thiel

Aaron S. Thiel, attorney and baseball junkie, blends his high-stakes, storytelling ability with his passion for the greatest game ever invented. Through the years, a baseball player's potential was measured by five key physical abilities or "tools." But over time, scouts started to identify a critical "sixth" tool, which was a player’s mental focus, drive and approach. Today, however, a growing number of insiders would now argue that the sixth tool is really more about data mining and machine learning algorithms. Thiel explores this radical shift and its impact on the relationships within.
