No one is much more advanced than Andrew Friedman in anything PD and analytics in baseball. Edited August 1, 20196 yr by Look at Ray Ray Run

No one is much more advanced than Andrew Friedman in anything PD and analytics in baseball. There was a big typo there where I meant to write 2015 dodgers, when Greinke was there. I do think Dodgers are likely closer now but still think their main advantage is being one of the best evaluators.
August 1, 20196 yr 7 hours ago, Look at Ray Ray Run said: Greinke is probably the smartest player in the MLB (smart's in this sense). He started the deep dive into analytics before the Astros front office existed. He has very specific information he wanted to evolve his game and hes aged gracefully despite velocity declines because of that. If you search you can find extensive articles and interviews from Greinke about how he bought into analytics and implanted them into his arsenal. The astros are sharp, but Verlander had declined as had cole - they both needed guidance. Greinke has stayed consistent despite his stuff diminishing and its because of his analytic process. I'll add that when I say he's smarter than their front office I mean in regards to knowing his game and understanding how to maximize his outcomes. He is... The most interesting man in the world
