[2/5]
Data from the 2015 season indicates that the major league organizations most committed to sabermetrics are also the most successful between the baselines. The contrast between clubs that are believers and those that are nonbelievers is so dramatic it’s hard to conclude the correlation is a coincidence.
But if you don’t trust the numbers, believe the stampede.

That trampling you hear is the sound of major league clubs rushing as fast as they can toward young, analytic-minded front offices.
