The MVP Machine
How Baseball's New Nonconformists Are Using Data to Build Better Players
Ben Lindbergh
Discover the high-tech quest to build better players in major league baseball’s next revolution. In The MVP Machine, bestselling authors reveal how data-driven approaches are overturning traditional techniques, perfecting prospects, and eking extra runs out of older athletes who were once written off. Journey behind-the-scenes to learn how undersized afterthoughts became big sluggers and MVPs, how polarizing pitchers emerged as aces, and how coaching and scouting are being turned upside down. The MVP Machine charts the future of a sport and offers a lesson that goes beyond baseball: success stems from making the most of untapped potential.
