DATA ANALYTICS
https://datasportsgroup.com/
The field of Data Analytics has completely disrupted the sports world, bringing about a 
new change with innovative technology, transforming the world by pushing it in a new 
direction. By breathing life back in past practice but more technologically driven thus 
minimizing the dependence on biased opinions.
The technological shift made it possible to create an abundance of data to rely upon, 
which had earlier taken years of patience and time to create. The combined power of data 
analytics and the human mind has boggled the industry which has further cemented our 
belief that the future lies in Data analytics.
Analytics has been slowly creeping in the field of sports ever since the movie Moneyball, 
though sports statistics in its basic essence existed long before the movie came. It existed 
in the form of descriptive analytics when Henry Chadwick first worked on a similar idea 
in the field of baseball and later F.C. Lane, Branch Rickey, and Allan Roth developed on the 
idea further that has been the foundation of modern-day sports analytics.
Infusing the power of analytics into multiple sports
Data Analytics is a versatile technology, we could use it to arm ourselves across multiple 
sports arenas like basketball and soccer, as we keep on adding data and forming a reliable 
database. we can perform predictive and later on prescriptive analysis on data to provide 
us with meaningful insights which enables us to predict the future performance of 
players, ultimately helping us with transfers and trades. Further, we can devise strategies 
as well.
In the sports arena, there is excessive 
competition, where every player has unique 
abilities and advantages and sports analytics is 
one such advantage with which even a low-end 
team holds the ability to complete and maybe win 
against high end once. Many organizations have 
realized the importance of sports analytics and 
soon every team will arm themselves with it.
Quick ROI
Sports Analytics has the added advantage of quick results since they start small. Thus, 
the constant circle of feedback helps improve the model even more whereas in other 
businesses the churn time is different and thus behaving as a long-term investment. 
Taking the example of just Baseball the analyst would be able to provide heat maps of 
the strike zone, a spray chart of balls thrown, pitcher game-plans as well as on-field 
position of defense.
The result is immediate strategy change that would increase the chances of winning 
which would have otherwise been less without the added knowledge provided by the 
analyst. Even while forming teams the data-driven choice has a higher chance of 
success using the predictive model based on player performance and biochemical 
indicators.
Synthesizing the data with human intellect
Strategy solely developed on data is not 
recommend, the analysis based on data is actually 
done by a machine which has its limitations as 
well in the current world. A careful synthesis of 
the results with human intuitions, also needs to 
be kept in mind as some part of the data can 
never be quantified, thus no analysis would 
guarantee a 100 percent chance of working.
As well as this is not exactly a time-friendly process, an effective process yes. Many a 
times there will be moments that require fast decision making and this is where field 
experts step in to make sure the opportunity isn’t lost.
Thus, Data Analytics offers a distinctive advantage to the many organizations across 
sectors who have reaped its benefits to climb to the top of the field as well, such Analytics
