I’m excited for the opportunity to head back to @CarnegieMellon for #CMSAC2022! I look forward to seeing everyone there.

[Carnegie Mellon Statistics & Data Science @CMU_StatDS]

Super excited to announce the #CMSAC2022 keynote: Doug Fearing @DougFearing President/Co-Founder @ZelusAnalytics and @CarnegieMellon alum! Mark your calendars for Oct 28-29 and stay tuned to https://t.co/UutdZZYzm9 for more info! #sportsanalytics #datascience

[Zelus Analytics @ZelusAnalytics]

We're hiring engineers who can help us design, generalize, and scale our intelligence platform as we expand across sports! If you love engineering and sports, please apply under Careers at https://t.co/g6fRGqGkch. We particularly welcome applications from underrepresented groups.

@asmae_toumi @Stat_Ron To an extent. There’s certainly an interest in keeping advanced data proprietary, but I also think it’s natural evolution. Teams like the Rays and Dodgers invest 10+ person-years into analytics each year, so it’s hard for individuals to keep up.

[Doug Fearing @DougFearing]

@Stat_Ron @asmae_toumi The challenge with the current baseball analytics landscape is that there’s a growing divide between public and proprietary research, so it’s harder to stand out based on the former.

[Doug Fearing @DougFearing]

@Stat_Ron @asmae_toumi Totally agree with everything here. That was in the context of discussing ways that individuals can differentiate themselves as sports analytics candidates, either through public research, advanced degrees, and/or strong experience in tech.

[Doug Fearing @DougFearing]

@Silver_Stats @Mastercard @ZelusAnalytics We’re so excited to have you join the team!

[Doug Fearing @DougFearing]

I’m equally excited to work with @StatsOnTheT as we build the @ZelusAnalytics platform. Welcome to the team!

[Stephanie Kovalchik @StatsOnTheT]

[Doug Fearing @DougFearing]

‘Tis the season for joy and reflection, and I couldn’t be happier with the team we’ve built @ZelusAnalytics. It’s been an amazing journey so far. I’m excited for new challenges in 2020 as we develop the MLB intelligence platform for six partner teams and expand into other sports.

[Doug Fearing @DougFearing]

Thanks, @jphoornstra. It was great talking to you about various paths for innovation in baseball and how @ZelusAnalytics fits into those trends. This is an exciting time to be working in sports, with many new data sources and technologies on the horizon!

[J.P. Hoornstra @jphoornstra]

I love writing about interesting behind-the-scenes baseball people and their ideas. I hate that teams employ talented analysts who rarely get the recognition they deserve.

All of which is to say, here's a story about the future of baseball: https://t.co/A7iLaXwe8L

[Doug Fearing @DougFearing]

Thanks, @brendankent! I really enjoyed chatting with you as well, and I appreciate the platform @MeasurablesPod is providing for the sports analytics community.

[Doug Fearing @DougFearing]

@tangotiger As a childhood Dodger fan, I vividly remember where I was at that moment. If not for Vin Scully (generally) and Kirk Gibson’s home run (specifically), my career would have followed a very different path.

[Doug Fearing @DougFearing]

We need to fix that slide! Dan Cervone is now the Principal Data Scientist @ZelusAnalytics. I’m thrilled to be able to work with Dan again. If you’d like to as well, there are still positions open...

[Barça Innovation Hub @BarcaInnoHub]

Good hitters are good extrapolators. Good pitchers break these extrapolations. @dcervone0 #BarçaAnalytics

[Doug Fearing @DougFearing]

@mressler I did, and it tasted just like I remembered. I decided to lean into the nostalgia and had Primanti Bros last night. What sandwich isn’t better when you add coleslaw, fries, and a fried egg?

[Doug Fearing @DougFearing]

Heading to the Burgh to attend #CMSAC @CarnegieMellon, the place where it all began. So many great memories from my time there as an undergrad.

[Doug Fearing @DougFearing]

Yesterday, I completed Beyond Diversity, a two-day seminar offered by Leadership Austin. I'm hopeful that I'll be able to apply some of the valuable lessons to my own work and life, and I'd highly recommend signing up for a future session. https://t.co/QQKPr7UXsh

[Doug Fearing @DougFearing]

@TonyElHabr @ZelusAnalytics Thanks, Tony! Are you considering applying? Feel free to send me a note if you have any questions.

[Doug Fearing @DougFearing]

On a flight back to Austin from #NESSIS. Great talks and incredible people. I’m hoping to get a few of them to join us @ZelusAnalytics. https://t.co/tCy2AG1gz7

[Doug Fearing @DougFearing]

@alexthepelican @ZelusAnalytics Hi Alexander, thanks for your interest! We’re focused on filling these positions before January, and then we plan to post opportunities for next summer towards the end of the year. Stay tuned!
