Big data and advanced analytics touch every facet of our lives. We see it in action with on-line advertising, cash register printed coupons, and the marketing of airline tickets. Big data measurements range from hundreds of terabytes to petabytes, with analytics refining data quantity into quality actionable information. Baseball has always been a data-rich statistical paradise and is called a data- driven sport, yet the amount of data it used to generate pales in comparison to today’s game.
