Regional weekend was wild! So crazy that it made me curious and my team @643charts did their homework. What were the biggest 3 plays over the weekend based off win probability to help teams advance to a super. Enjoy!

Funny enough, I hated math in HS. For my math req. in college, I wrote essays. Took me years (and a few curveballs) to realize how much it mattered — esp. in BB & SB. Loved sharing that journey w/ the students at Cherokee Trail. Hope it planted a seed like someone once did for me
"When will I ever use this?" It's the question every math teacher hears! Last month, our very own @ForrestDataGuy Zoom'd in and showed a math class at Cherokee Trail High School (CO) exactly how statistics, probability, and even trigonometry power modern baseball and softball analytics. ⚾️🥎📊 From defensive shifts to catch probability models, these students saw firsthand how the classroom concepts they're learning could translate directly to the diamond! 🧮

Really proud of how well DSR did in its first year. It respected mid-majors and teams who have to play away from home. It also put a premium on winning rather than scheduling. I’d love to chat about it with you at #NFCA2024
