Facing the team's fiasco, star players quitting jobs, and public opinion oppressing... Billy, the general manager of the athlete baseball team, is standing in a difficult time in his career. According to traditional methods, what should a team that has no possibility of saving it go? Is there really no possibility? Team, just lost like that? At a critical moment, Fatty brought hope with his professional data analysis results. The use of data analysis will make experience intuition more comprehensive, objective, scientific, and in-depth. Look to the future. This is especially important for athlete selection. Statistics are more objective. The more objective, the simpler. Without any emotion, it just presents the players' abilities in simple numbers from 0 to 9. It has nothing to do with the players' private lives, how strange the players' pitching postures are, and whether the players' body shapes and postures are in line with the public's taste... just Like Billy taught Fatty to fire a player, it's as simple as telling the athlete that you're sold, without any sloppiness, and neatly. As a former baseball player, the reason given by Billy is that they are all professional players and they respect any decision made by their superiors on them without any emotion, because the decisions made by the superstructure have their basis and reason. When you know that everything has a reason, you can fully believe without reason. Qualified veteran scouts rely on the accumulated experience of observing athletes on the court for many years, and evaluate the athletes to form a team. However, after all, people are emotional animals, and there are too many emotional fetters. In many cases, they cannot be very objective and rigorous. There will also be deviations in the analysis to varying degrees, which may narrow the evaluation of the player's own strength due to the excessive magnification of the world's views. Therefore, with the powerful function of data analysis, Billy tapped many players whose value is higher than the market value, and gradually found a way to save the team. Statistics can be more comprehensive. Only by fully analyzing the data can we foresee more possibilities and discover internal laws that cannot be captured by the naked eye at once. Billy's unsuccessful baseball career is a reminder that the so-called seasoned scouts and coaches who once extolled their potential to be shining baseball stars have their intuitions wrong. The times are progressing. It is not that traditional things have no value, but that there are more scientific methods that are more suitable for the times, so why not try them? In the current era, what is needed is objective things that are well-founded, and the existence of experience is more like a nutritional supplement, which can be supplemented but not completely relied upon. But this does not mean that we should completely abandon tradition. On the contrary, we should make better use of tradition, combine data with traditional experience, give full play to our respective strengths, and contribute to the cause of sports together. Although Billy's final game result may appear to the world as his daughter sings, "Dad, you are a loser." But when you think about it deeply, there are winners and losers, and the athletes who rely on data support lose. Now, the Red Sox have the final victory, but he's relying on Billy The Philosophy of Baseball - Data Analysis. So, in the end big data is the winner. Billy lost the game, but opened up a new idea in the baseball world and even the sports world - the arrival of the era of big data is unstoppable, and statistics, like a new star, will play an irreplaceable role in the field of sports.
