How the Texas Rangers Revolutionized Baseball Analytics with a Modern Data Lakehouse

It’s a pretty long video, but there are some really cool bits (if you like data and analytics).
E.g., the “Motion Capture” segment and the plot of Adolis Garcia’s hitting “sweet spot” at 33:06
As a Rangers fan and Databricks employee, I am super proud of this!
Hey, that’s my SMU bootcamp professor! Go Prof Booth!
This is really interesting. I especially like how he talks about Evan Carter towards the end and I’m like hey this is really cool that we can use this to find amazing talent where no one else is looking.
The one knock I have on the old FO is I believe they were woefully behind other orgs in the analytics department and using data management in scouting.
