Nearly 10 years ago, Bill James, a pioneer in sports analytics methodology, said if there’s one thing he wished more people understood about sabermetrics, pertaining to baseball, it’s that the data is not the point. The point is to use the data like a razor to cut through false convictions to find the truth. “The reason that understanding is so difficult to build in baseball is because there’s an entire industry of people selling nonsensical ideas about the data all the time,” James said at the
