About Michigan Sports Analytics Podcast

The Michigan Sports Analytics Podcast takes a dive into the use of analytics in professional sports, what the key trends are, and what the future holds. Our podcast has a focus in baseball and football with some larger sports context thrown in here and there. These focal points are the product of two student organizations at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, the Michigan Society for American Baseball Research (M-SABR) and the Michigan Football Analytics Society (M-FANS). Founded in 2016 and 2018, respectively, our clubs have evolved and we bring you some of our research and insights.
