Basically a 250 page Sports Illustrated article, this book is a bit more “baseball” than it is “big data”. That being said, the data story is far beyond Moneyball, which was essentially how the A's started paying attention to the under appreciated slugging stat. What the Pirates did in 2013 was much bigger and changed the game forever.
