On "The Sweet Spot" podcast, Jake & Mark discuss the "SWEET SPOT" between data utilization and human decision making within baseball development and gameplay. Within sports today, data analytics is taking over. However, human decision making still plays a valuable role in development and gameplay, and combining this intuition with data-driven insights leads to better results. The question is... what's the sweet spot? Jake is a sports performance coach and former NCAA pitcher. Mark manages growth strategy for a startup and is an ex-Goldman Sachs quant and former NCAA rower.
