  • Less is More: Making Better Picks With Less Scouting Data and Better Analytics

    with Brian Maher


    Presentation

    Many teams collect too many different scouting data points, which requires unnecessary effort from scouting students and can lead to less accurate data. We'll talk about how to make collecting scouting data easier for your team by only collecting the information you'll actually need and strategies for most effectively analyzing/visualizing that data.
