Reflection on Baseball

 I came into the course expecting to learn just a bit about baseball. I certainly came in with some pretty strong knowledge, so I didn't think there was too much to learn. My expectations were definitely exceeded, as there were new statistics that I learned about. Reading Moneyball was very interesting because I learned about new strategies to scout players. The thing that I got the most out of was listening to Bill Schlough talk to us about the business strategies of the Giants and technology. I was shocked to see the new technology "Field FX" and how that will have a huge effect on the future of scouting for the Giants and the major leagues. On top of that I am excited to use the replay technology at AT&T Park. Overall, I got a lot out of baseball knight school because I learned a lot and enjoyed myself quite a bit. If I got the chance to take the class again I definitely would.
