- Player panel — the impact of data and information on performance
SABR is also hosting the Diamond Dollars Case Competition as part of the conference which allows students to present their case results/recommendations of a baseball ops case to a panel of judges which include some team executives. For more information and to register for the SABR Analytics Conference and Diamond Dollars Case Competition you can go to www.sabr.org.
The cost of the Baseball Industry Network Cactus League Meet-Up is $30 to attend but if you are attending the SABR Analytics Conference your admission is included in the cost of the conference and you do not need to register again separately here. I want to give special thanks to Vince Gennaro and Marc Appleman of SABR for making this possible. Also, if you are also coming out to Phoenix for the World Baseball Classic (to be held at Salt River Fields and Chase Field March 7-10) this is a great event to add to your itinerary.
