Quotes by Travis Sawchik (?)

“Pull-heavy, right-handed hitters should also have seen shifts, but rarely did. According to BIS’s database, the first shift employed against a right-handed hitter in the modern era didn’t occur until June 11, 2009, when the Phillies shifted left against Gary Sheffield.”
― Travis Sawchik, Big Data Baseball: Math, Miracles, and the End of a 20-Year Losing Streak

“These new peaks in performance aren’t just the product of better technology. They’re a manifestation of a new philosophy of human potential. Increasingly, teams and players are adopting a growth mindset that rejects long-held beliefs about innate physical talent. One of the only innate qualities may be how hard players are willing to work.”
