Phillies manager Gabe Kapler is one of the forefront proponents of new generation managers. He relies a great deal on analytics and trusts that if he sticks to his formula, things will eventually work themselves out. And to an extent, his method worked.
Yet, many traditional baseball minds think that analytics are ruining the game, including the way Kapler runs his team. I, for one, am a huge proponent of using analytics to expand baseball. I think that baseball has always been a thinking man’s game, and analytics allow players and coaches to evolve their approach to the game.
