Giants Increased Analytics Department This Offseason 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Thu Apr 5, 2018 12:07 pm

The San Francisco Giants have an old-school reputation, but they quietly added to their analytics department this offseason.

One change was adding a member of the front office to the team's traveling party.

Players have talked about getting additional information from the club about launch angles, their tendencies and defensive shifts.

I've never heard of launch angles, tendencies and defensive shifts in advanced stats :D.
