Stat Geek

As a college baseball player I must admit to being a stat freak. I thuroughly enjoy sabermetrics and studying the physics of how a baseball flies. For instance, just last night, while most baseball fans were watching the games on TV, I was on my computer, watching the game in PitchF X, a program that gives just about every variable of how a baseball is thrown and how it acts once its released. Think of it as watching baseball only instead of seeing runners and images, you see technical readouts of what the pitchs actually did. But back to stats, I can tell you just about every stat you'll ever need to know or want to know, I can't help it, its just what I'm interested in. I spend literally more than an hour a day at baseball reference, an online enyclopedia of baseball statistics and metrics. For whatever reason I find it fascinating to read them and learn them.

I'm new here, sorry, this was supposed to be under baseball statistics thread, sorry.

Oh, I thought it was about stats in general.

I know nothing about baseball stats but in several of my jobs I used to voluntarily create charts and stuff based on the workflow stats. Not quite as cool as baseball.
