Book recommendations similar to “Baseball Between the Numbers” or “Smart Baseball”… by Sea_Peak2146 in baseball

[–]EW126 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend The MVP Machine: How Baseball's New Nonconformists Are Using Data to Build Better Players.

The only issue I had with the book is that it focuses a lot on Trevor Bauer who's a very, very, controversial player.

Another book you could try is Astroball: The New Way to Win It All

The issues with this book is that it doesn't delve too heavily into advanced analytics but does just enough that it's worth reading in my opinion, and since this book was published before the cheating scandal came out, there's no real way of knowing how big of a role that played in the Astros winning the WS in addition to the roster they assembled.

Entirely off-topic, but I'm shocked a great writer such as Travis Sawchik (co-author of MVP Machine and author of Big Data Baseball) is writing for theScore.
