Join our #DataTalk on Thursdays at 5 p.m. ET
We had an opportunity to talk with Kitman Labs about ways big data is leveraged for baseball. The following slides are highlights from our tweetchat with them.

It’s been fascinating to see how analytics has transformed the way general managers
and trainers make decisions.

We collect real time data from many sources including exercises recorded in Capture, our 3D
video athlete screening tool. Plus daily self-reports of well-being and sleep quality, GPS data,
heart rate availability, etc. It varies by team.

HUGE competitive advantage.

Research shows that many factors play a role in this epidemic. Longitudinal
tracking of these risks can help reduce it, for instance, subtle velocity drops and pitch
movement deviations have been shown to be markers of fatigue and injury risk.

We’ve done studies showing that clients’ injuries have been reduced 15-33%. Keeping
players on the field is key to winning.

I’d say data has more than proved itself in baseball - if you look at the Rays, A’s, Giants, etc.

Actually it varies from athlete to athlete. The best indicator is pattern of self-reported
perceived sleep quality.

Analyzing data intelligently is crucial, but analysis is only as good as the
quality/timeliness of the data collected. The future will see huge leaps forward in data collection with tools like 3D video motion
capture athlete screening.
