The Analytics Draft Strategy

How the analytics era has changed the way MLB teams approach the amateur draft

The Change

The analytics era has changed the MLB amateur draft from the primarily scouting-driven process that identified the physically projectable players whose tools the scouts valued to the specific statistical and biomechanical data-driven process that identifies the measurable performance indicators whose relationship to professional success the research has established.

The Metrics

The metrics that the analytics draft has elevated: the specific spin rate and movement profile that the Trackman and Hawkeye systems measure for pitchers; the specific exit velocity and launch angle profile that the hitting evaluation systems measure for hitters; and the specific athleticism and movement metrics that the biomechanical assessments produce.
