The field of Data Analytics has completely
disrupted the sports world, bringing about a new
change with innovative technology, transforming
the world by pushing it in a new direction. By
breathing life back in past practice but more
technologically driven thus minimizing the
dependence on biased opinions. The technological
shift made it possible to create an abundance of
data to rely upon, which had earlier taken years
of patience and time to create. The combined
power of data analytics and the human mind has
boggled the industry which has further cemented
our belief that the future lies in Data analytics.

Analytics has been slowly creeping in the field
of sports ever since the movie Moneyball, though
sports statistics in its basic essence existed
long before the movie came. It existed in the
form of descriptive analytics when Henry Chadwick
first worked on a similar idea in the field of
baseball and later F.C. Lane, Branch Rickey, and
Allan Roth developed on the idea further that has
been the foundation of modern-day sports
analytics. Infusing the power of analytics into
multiple sports Data Analytics is a versatile
technology, we could use it to arm ourselves
across multiple sports arenas like basketball and
soccer, as we keep on adding data and forming a
reliable database. we can perform predictive and
later on prescriptive analysis on data to provide
us with meaningful insights which enables us to
predict the future performance of players,
ultimately helping us with transfers and trades.
Further, we can devise strategies as well.

In the sports arena, there is excessive
competition, where every player has unique
abilities and advantages and sports analytics is
one such advantage with which even a low-end team
holds the ability to complete and maybe win
against high end once. Many organizations have
realized the importance of sports analytics and
soon every team will arm themselves with it.

Quick ROI Sports Analytics has the added
advantage of quick results since they start
small. Thus, the constant circle of feedback
helps improve the model even more whereas in
other businesses the churn time is different and
thus behaving as a long-term investment. Taking
the example of just Baseball the analyst would be
able to provide heat maps of the strike zone, a
spray chart of balls thrown, pitcher game-plans
as well as on-field position of defense. The
result is immediate strategy change that would
increase the chances of winning which would have
otherwise been less without the added knowledge
provided by the analyst. Even while forming teams
the data-driven choice has a higher chance of
success using the predictive model based on
player performance and biochemical indicators.

Synthesizing the data with human
intellect Strategy solely developed on data is
not recommend, the analysis based on data is
actually done by a machine which has its
limitations as well in the current world. A
careful synthesis of the results with human
intuitions, also needs to be kept in mind as some
part of the data can never be quantified, thus no
analysis would guarantee a 100 percent chance of
working.

As well as this is not exactly a time-friendly
process, an effective process yes. Many a times
there will be moments that require fast decision
making and this is where field experts step in to
make sure the opportunity isnt lost. Thus, Data

many organizations across sectors who have reaped
its benefits to climb to the top of the field as
