Death Data Analytics Technology by Bradley Joel (7 results)

Paperback. Condition: Good.

Baseball, once driven by individual style and innovation, has become a mechanical march of tech-driven robots. A theology of sameness is preached across the sport, with swings and pitching deliveries manufactured in baseball laboratories. Ballplayers are now collections of biometric data, managers mindless pushers of analytic buttons, scouts replaced by high-speed cameras.In Death by Data, former international scout and long-time coach Joel Bradley examines baseball's life-and-death struggle between tradition and innovation.

Central to the issue, says Bradley, is the question: What does it truly mean to be a ballplayer? Death by Data is a call to rekindle the human magic that made baseball America's Pastime and ensure it continues to inspire generations to come.…
