Early registration ends February 15 for 2018 SABR Analytics Conference

Early registration is still open for the seventh annual SABR Analytics Conference on Friday, March 9 to Sunday, March 11, 2018, at the Hyatt Regency Phoenix, but you should register before February 15 to take advantage of the early registration discounted rate. Our special group rate at the Hyatt Regency Phoenix also expires on February 15, 2018.

We hope you’ll join us this spring in Arizona, where we’ll bring together the top minds in the baseball analytics community to discuss, debate and share insightful ways to analyze and examine the great game of baseball. All baseball fans are welcome to attend. Click a link below for more information:

Our featured speakers and panelists are expected to include Brian Kenny of MLB Network, ESPN’s Jon “Boog” Sciambi and Eduardo Perez, Arizona Diamondbacks Sr. VP/Assistant GM Amiel Sawdaye, San Francisco Giants executive and former major-leaguer David Bell, Chicago White Sox executive Chris Getz, Seattle Mariners executive Andy McKay, FanGraphs’ Eno Sarris, Monsterful VR founder Jarett Sims, and SABR President Vince Gennaro as featured speakers and panelists at the 2018 SABR Analytics Conference. Stay tuned as we announce more soon! Click here to learn more about our speakers and panelists.

This year’s conference will feature the high-quality content you’ve always enjoyed at the SABR Analytics Conference and the same number of featured panels and research presentations, but there will be a few changes to the usual schedule: We will begin programming early Friday afternoon on March 9 and will run through Sunday afternoon on March 11. The change in schedule is due to the availability at our host hotel this year. However, we have a large block of rooms for SABR Analytics Conference attendees on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights.

In addition, the Diamond Dollars Case Competition will start at 6:00 p.m. on Friday evening and the networking reception will be held on Saturday evening, March 10 at the Hyatt Regency Phoenix. Lunch, which is included in your conference registration, will be served at noon on Friday — before the regular programming begins — and also on Saturday between the morning and afternoon sessions.

SABR Little League Home Runs Database updated through 2017

The SABR Little League Home Runs Database, an effort to compile a definitive list of one of baseball’s most entertaining and memorable plays, is now updated through the 2017 season.

Chuck Hildebrandt, chair of SABR’s Baseball and the Media Committee, began unearthing and reporting on these plays for his award-winning presentation at the SABR 45 convention in 2015.

Through the end of the 2017 season, he confirmed a total of 358 Little League Home Runs throughout MLB history, including additional historical incidents discovered from the 1911, 1926, 1928, 1929, 1941, 1942, 1943, and 1980 seasons.

Click here to access the SABR Little League Home Runs database

In addition to these confirmed occurrences, there are two other potential Little League Home Run plays that still need to be confirmed: Charlie Mead of the New York Giants on September 10, 1943, and Pinky Woods of the Boston Red Sox on August 27, 1944. If you want to help look up details for these plays, click here for more details.
