My Detroit Tigers are on an improbable playoff run with a comically small payroll of less than $20M...for the entire team! For context, a single MLB superstar typically makes double that. If you haven’t tuned in yet (or don’t care to - I get it, baseball can still be slow), this story is compelling for two reasons: 1. A young, relatively unknown team that’s peaking at just the right time. 2. Manager AJ Hinch is a mastermind, using creative, analytics-driven strategies to put his players in the best possible situations to succeed. His approach is bound to influence how the game is played in the future. These Tigers represent the best of Detroit: making the absolute most of what you’ve got. Plus, analytics help.
