On Tuesday, May 5, we're launching Computer Games, an educational series that will highlight the intersection of sports and tech.
Our first installment, "An Eye for Data," will be hosted by Royals TV Broadcaster Joel Goldberg and feature Dr. Daniel Mack, Assistant General Manager/ Research & Development.
Find out how his passion for baseball, and background in computer science, brought him to a job in Major League Baseball. He'll share how data drives decisions at every level of the game and how he articulates results to support players, coaches, and the general manager.
