The Secret Behind Moneyball 

Nicely produced video, both visually and contextually. Looking forward to more baseball videos!!! Great work!

I’m fascinated with Moneyball. Excellent video!

Great video my man. The algorithm suggested it because I clicked on another Moneyball video. More power to ya!

For me the 3 best/ most important players were Mulder/Hudson/Zito EChavez, M Tejada were the keys to the lineup. The Money ball guys filled out the roster

Great video, im shocked you dont have a bigger following!

Good and simple explanation. I’ve read the book and seen the movie. But this gave great info

I love this movie and this knowledge.

Data analysis lets us see the unseen.

It's a fantastic story!

Nice video. Very interesting and informative.

Bill James was writing books about this for decades…

Ya gotta shout out to Bill James' pioneering though..

I believe in Sabremetrics and the Astros & Orioles are far better examples but more difficult to maneuver as at least 1/2 the league is trying to do the same. Elias & Mejdal & Blood mastered the real success as proven by their drafting with the Cards, then Astros, and now Os. However, the idea the As used it to win just doesn’t exist. Jermey was already on the team. The team won the same number of games and lost in the first round over and over - not really different. Without Moneyball, they produced the Jasons & identified affordable players to win prior to ‘Moneyball’ The true difference and reason they won until they didn’t - Zito, Hudson, and Mulder. Plain & simple.

It worked for like a season The biggest mistake was probably giving it so much publicity during that season Everyone was paying attention They were mostly mocking them but they paid attention and just copied it later And once again the rich got richer I also blame it for the outrageous increase in payrolls. Especially since the cap doesn't matter because they have ways of getting the money to the stars without it effecting them much (see Dodgers 2024)

Movie worked better than the strategy

Cardinals were already doing this money ball stuff years before

Worked great… they’re in Vegas now lmao

Tom Brady is a better example…

How many World Series have the A's won since "moneyball"? That's what I figured. NONE.

Money ball has destroyed the A's i don't understand why it is so celebrated

People love this story - but it is really kind of BS. The real arbitrage that was leveraged was analyzing how much steroids had changed the very nature of the game. A's figured out speed and athleticism didn't matter in steroid era. Get on base and wait for homeruns. Everyone wasn't wrong about what mattered for 100 years of baseball - they were just slow to realize how steroids changed everything. "Analytics" sounds so much better...
