Our Athletes Voice series gives athletes a forum to talk about how technology has impacted their careers and their lives away from sports. This week, Washington Nationals closer Sean Doolittle talks about weighted balls, sleep science, advanced data, and bullpen cars.

Sean Doolittle is one of the sport’s more cerebral players as well as a two-time All-Star pitcher—not bad for someone who was drafted and developed as a first baseman for his first three seasons before injuries prompted a position change.
Doolittle is also well known for his ginger beard, his social media posts, his equal rights advocacy, and his love of bullpen carts.
