Baseball statistics has become even more advanced and crucial in recent years. Talent scouts use pitching, batting, and fielding statistics to decide who gets that college sports scholarship and who is selected in the MBA draft. Statistics determine who is going to bat against a left-handed pitcher. Statistics are used to make decisions on who is traded and who is cut from the line-up. Statistics improve the understanding and enjoyment of the game. Knowledge of statistics can also lead to huge demands for students down the line as it is key in research and business careers.
