About this listen
On this episode, Mark Simon is joined by Giants vice-president of player development Randy Winn, Mariners communications manager Alex Mayer, and his SIS colleague Greg Halperin.
Randy explained his new role under new Giants president Buster Posey, shared why teaching players how to hit the cutoff man is a priority to him, described how he and the organization use data, and told stories of new Hall-of-Famer Ichiro and how he played defense.
Alex talked about his enjoyment of finding statistical minutiae, and the recent success of Cal Raleigh and Rodríguez.
Greg, a recent selection as Data Scout of the Month at SIS, used Ben Rice as an example of looking at a player's expected stats vs his actual stats and shared what it's like to regularly watch NPB and KBO games.
