About the Original Book:
For people interested in the statistical side of baseball, for baseball fans or anyone who is interested in the application of analytics for improving performance, Astroball: The New Way to Win It All by Ben Reiter provides facts, human interest bits and projections about America’s favorite sport.
With plenty of background on the people making the changes to the way baseball is being developed in the 21st century to the players who are embracing these new processes, Astroball: The New Way to Win It All is easy to read while it provides a three-dimensional look at a complex operation.
After extensive research and analysis of his own, Ben Reiter offers readers a clear look at the evolution of the traditional game of baseball with all the pros and cons of allowing computers to make decisions. What you read may very well surprise you as the amount of complex data that can be broken down and analyzed today is uncovered. In spite of all that information, though, there is still one important factor that can never be taken for granted: it is people who play the game.
