Message: [QUOTE="huskeynut, post: 5142236, member: 750"] An analytics or whatever you want to call it is a tool.Nothing more. It is not the end all be all. Unfortunately, for some, especially in baseball it seems, analytics has become the measuring stick on who to trade for. The human factor, what does the eye see and what does your gut tell you, have been or are being removed from the game. Analytics is destroying baseball. Too much emphasis on bat speed and launch angle. The contact hitter who hit singles and doubles, can bunt (lost art) and consistantly hits over .300 are fewer than before. It is also affecting pitching with the emphasis on off speed pitches. [/QUOTE]
