I wrote a recap last week of SportCon, the sports analytics conference put on by MinneAnalytics with significant involvement from the Twins. You can read about that here: http://twinsdaily.com/_/minnesota-twins-news/minnesota-twins/twins-make-their-mark-at-sportcon-r5293

 

Many people expressed disappointment that they didn't hear about this event or were unable to attend. Well, today TECHdotMN posted videos of a few panels, including one on analytical applications in media and pro sports, which I think many here will find interesting. The panelists included Twins Director of Baseball Research Jack Goin, as well as Milwaukee Bucks Director Basketball Analytics Michael Clutterbuck, ESPN VP of Stats and Research Jeff Bennett, and Inside Edge cofounder Jay Donchetz. 

 

That panel is the second one featured here: http://tech.mn/news/2017/01/19/minneanalytics-sportcon-2016-startup-analytics-panels/

I guess what I'm waiting to hear is Falvey's review of what Goin has done over the years in anonymity.

I like hearing Jack talking about the future of metrics in players injuries.   Should be nerdy fun!
