Description
Computer modeling and projections are becoming a part of every industry, and it is no different in professional sports, especially baseball. Teams are relying on these systems now more than ever and are involved in an arms race of trying to acquire the best technology to win more games. The road to get here hasn’t been easy. This report goes over a brief history of computer modeling's development in professional sports, before going over the technical aspects of how these models work, looking and them from a Computer Science background. Analysis of different types of projection models that include Statcast and PITCHf/x. These models extend to other aspects of computing such as A.I. and machine learning. Will also look at the current development of computer projections and how it could change the future of baseball.
