The annual SABR Analytics Diamond Dollars Case Competition, February 27-March 1, in Phoenix, Arizona, brings together college teams from across the country to compete in a rigorous case study focused on sabermetrics, which is the advanced analysis of baseball statistics. In 2014, MLWGS made history as the first high school ever to compete in this university-level event.
Judged by analysts from Major League Baseball organizations, the competition showcases some of the nation’s top collegiate teams. This year’s field included teams from Rice, Vanderbilt, Tufts, Syracuse, Elon, Arizona State, Texas A&M, and the University of the Pacific. Once again, MLWGS was the only high school represented, maintaining our status as one of the most successful programs in the history of the competition.
This year’s challenge asked teams to develop a method for evaluating a player’s individual statistics in relation to overall team success, particularly when those measures may conflict. MLWGS sent four teams (20 students in total) to Phoenix to take on this demanding task.
Our Dragon teams delivered an outstanding performance and represented our school with excellence.
