Michael Lewis: Metrics can serve as a management and education tool that powers better decision making. Moneyball is the best thing I’ve ever read about metrics, Lewis says. Sabermetricians are a group of baseball stat geeks who’ve championed a wholesale rethinking of what is measured in baseball and how it gets applied. Baseball traditionalists have always undervalued walks, ignoring the opportunity of teaching hitters to be more disciplined at the plate, he says.
