If you had to catch someone up on the most important ideas/articles/accounts/happenings in baseball analytics since covid, what would you make sure to include?
Cambridge researches developed a “third thumb” device that is operated by pressure sensors under the foot.
Sounds pretty unintuitive to use but they ran a test with 600 subjects (age 3 to 96) and 596 (99.3%) were able to pass the grasping tests in minutes.
Looks like anyone that wants to peel a banana with one hand will soon be in luck.

@r_j_anderson R.J., your article was very helpful to me along the way and I am so glad you wrote it. I would encourage anyone in this space to check it out if they haven't already!
5 lessons I learned in my short time working in MLB R&D right out of college👇
If you you would like to share any lessons from your experience with current or future job seekers in this space, please feel free to add those in the replies!
I decided to write honestly about my personal decision to leave the baseball industry.
I hope this piece gives current and future job seekers a more realistic view of what it means to work in R&D and a chance to hear about my experiences in this space!

I don't want my latest article to discourage anyone from pursuing their dream.
If you read it and still want to give baseball a shot, I would highly recommend applying to be a part of the Twins organization like I was last year. Maybe you'll even get to work with @FMV1992!
The @Twins are kicking off the hiring cycle with a long list of cool intern- and fellowships. One of them will be with me in the Sports Science department (Fellow, Sports Science Research). Details are at the following link: https://t.co/jDCwY4ASnV

As machine learning/mixed models get more complicated, it can admittedly be harder for a coach to know what strings to pull in order to make a player better without accidentally making him worse.
I haven’t thought about baseball in my free time since May. A lot has changed for me since then.
Around that time I wrote about the future role of R&D in the front office. I’m not really even sure why, but I’d like to share that piece here and now.

In 2018 I went to a Yankees/Red Sox game at Fenway wearing my David Dahl shirsey. Got some strange looks and one guy telling me he’d “NEVAH HEAHD OF HIM” 😂
Would love to see him bounce back in WSH
