Ahead Of The Count: Sabermetric Teams & Sabermetric Scouting

We have all seen the merits of Major League Baseball teams using sabermetrics in its infancy. The famous bestseller, Moneyball by Michael Lewis, brought readers in to watch how the Athletics used statistical analysis to help repeatedly win the American League West despite a miniscule payroll at a time when few teams were using sabermetrics. However, in recent years many organizations have seen the competitive advantage of using sabermetrics grow smaller as more teams become aware and begin to target the players that the A’s were able to acquire so easily.
