Reviews
How this motley collection of men - from data geeks to throwback coaches to reluctant players - worked the numbers together to mold a winner makes Sawchik's tale as compelling as Michael Lewis's Moneyball. Which is saying a lot. - Booklist, starred review"This enlightening book by Sawchik explains how the team helped redefine the game... Taking cues from Michael Lewis's Moneyball and Jonah Keri's The Extra 2%, Sawchik wonderfully dissects statistics and the game itself in a style that will score with a broad range of readers." - Publishers Weekly "I read and loved Big Data Baseball... Highly recommended if you dig baseball stats and anecdotes!" -Seth Meyers"An author's goal when telling a story like this is to combine gripping storytelling with fresh insight into the wonkish methods an underdog baseball team uses to defy odds and win. The former is a great achievement for anyone, let alone a first-time author. The latter, given how incredibly secretive sports teams have become, is damn near impossible. In Big Data Baseball, Travis Sawchik pulls both off, and he does so masterfully." -Jonah Keri, author of The Extra 2% and writer for Grantland

Synopsis
New York Times Bestseller After twenty consecutive losing seasons for the Pittsburgh Pirates, team morale was low, the club's payroll ranked near the bottom of the sport, game attendance was down, and the city was becoming increasingly disenchanted with its team. Big Data Baseball is the story of how the 2013 Pirates, mired in the longest losing streak in North American pro sports history, adopted drastic big-data strategies to end the drought, make the playoffs, and turn around the franchise's fortunes. Big Data Baseball is Moneyball for a new generation. Award-winning journalist Travis Sawchik takes you behind the scenes to expertly weave together the stories of the key figures who changed the way the Pirates played the game, revealing how a culture of collaboration and creativity flourished as whiz-kid analysts worked alongside graybeard coaches to revolutionize the sport and uncover groundbreaking insights for how to win more games without spending a dime. From pitch framing to on-field shifts, this entertaining and enlightening underdog story closely examines baseball's burgeoning big data movement and demonstrates how the millions of data points which aren't immediately visible to players and spectators, are the bit of magic that led the Pirates to finish the 2013 season in second place and brought an end to a twenty-year losing streak., Big Data Baseball provides a behind-the-scenes look at how the Pittsburgh Pirates used big data strategies to end the longest losing streak in North American pro sports history.
