Download the digital program for the 2023 SABR Analytics ConferenceThe 12th annual SABR Analytics Conference was held in person from March 10-12, 2023, at the Beus Center for Law and Society on Arizona State University’s Downtown Phoenix Campus in Phoenix, Arizona.

The Analytics Conference schedule consisted of research presentations and guest speakers from throughout the baseball analytics community, career development sessions led by experienced sports professionals, and industry networking opportunities — all available for any aspiring front office executive or baseball fan to attend.

Students had opportunities for skill acquisition and development, including sessions on how to work with baseball-related data sets as well as databasing and SQL. Student registrations also included a complimentary one-year SABR membership ($25 value) and a complimentary Rapsodo certification course ($395 value).

The Diamond Dollars Case Competition was held at the Beus Center for Law and Society on the morning of Friday, March 10. Four- to five-person student teams are asked to evaluate a baseball operations case problem. The student team presents their analysis and recommendations to a panel of judges that includes MLB front office executives.
