Summer Symposium 2025 (Virtual)
Sunday, June 8, 2025, from 7:00 to 8:00 PM ET via Zoom
A Baseball Analytics Extravaganza!
​
Join us for an engaging discussion with Major League Baseball analysts and insiders as they share their insights and observations so far about the current MLB season. We'll explore how analytics can provide a deeper understanding of how your favorite team is *really* doing (beyond simply its W-L record) and how experts think about making predictions for the rest of the year. Also hear how the world’s best ballhawk has applied critical thinking and clever analysis to catch over 100 in-game MLB home runs (and snag more than 12,800 balls overall)!
