So I’ve been away for a while, but for a good reason. I was blessed with the opportunity to speak at SaberSeminar 2018, which was held on August 4-5 at Boston University. Two great men, Chuck Korb and Dan Brooks, founded this event and it has grown to become a family of people that combine to form what I call Baseball Academia (thanks to a conversation with Alex Speier at the Boston Globe). It is an event that is not well known to the mainstream public, but to those in the analytics community, it is a jewel.
