Schoeler: Washington State students compete in SABR Analytics Conference

From Cody Schoeler at the Daily Evergreen on March 20, 2019:

Four WSU students participated in a competition over spring break at the Society for American Baseball Research Analytics Conference in Phoenix, Arizona.

Dante Ludlow, junior sports management major, said he found out about the competition while he searched for internships.

WSU does not have a sports analytics department, Ludlow said, so the competition was new to both him and WSU. He said he hopes this conference can help start the development of a sports analytics track.

“If we can be any part of a long-term shift and eventually having more offerings in that area, it would be huge,” he said.

Ludlow said he was able to get a team together, despite only having three weeks before the registration deadline.
