In the tenth episode of Beyond The Diamond, Colby and Hunter are joined by friend and analytics expert Joshua Mould
We discuss what he has accomplished as the Villanova Sports Analytics Club Co-Founder and President
Being published on Fangraphs on multiple occasions
How to get your foot in the door when it comes to learning more about the wide world of sports analytics
Joshua and Hunter also go over some takeaways and lessons learned from attending the SABR Analytics Conference last weekend
Afterwards, we get into the newest rule changes being instituted in the minor leagues
Weighing the pros and cons of what they bring to the table
Of course, it wouldn't be a Beyond The Diamond episode without some college baseball talk!
Joshua weighs in on his Notre Dame Irish (who are currently #17 overall per D1Baseball)
Hunter goes over some positives that he took away from UConn's week
Colby previews Fairfield's opening day with an in-depth breakdown of what to expect from the roster (with a lineup that just hits as we saw today in their home opener against Canisius)
And it would not be a proper BTD episode without some Vandy Talk
Colby admits that Rocker is insane after he shut him up by throwing 8.0 innings
Colby also predicts that Jack Leiter will throw a no-hitter on Saturday (spoiler alert, he was right)
We then look ahead at what is to come this weekend
To make the show even better, a reminder that we are only a little over a week away from the MLB season officially kicking off
It is truly the most wonderful time of the year!
