Moneyball Brings Big Data to Silicon Valley's Minor League
San Jose Giants use big data technologies to engage fans in the epicenter of the tech industry.
Baseball is a game of skill and statistics, and analyzing them effectively to evaluate players is a given in the Moneyball era. It's not just scouts and general managers either; major league fans have been able to access game stats in real time for several years and now the big data technologies that help make sense of all those numbers are trickling down to Silicon Valley's own single A minor league team, the San Jose Giants.
Gameday, a pitch-by-pitch application, is one of the data technologies used to feed real-time game action to Major League Baseball fans. Now the lower levels of the game, the farm leagues where many future major leaguers are playing today, are beginning to adopt the technology.
"It's tech that every Major League team uses, and almost all triple A level teams are using it, but we're among the first single A teams to use it," said Ben Taylor, media relations coordinator for the San Jose Giants.
