Ahead of the Curve: Inside the Baseball Revolution par Brian Kenny
I was not a big fan of Brian Kenny before I read the book. I am now. This is more than just an entertaining primer on the new baseball numbers. This is a story about how scientific revolutions happen. Kenny manages to both destroy the old guard while being conciliatory and respectful at the same time. This makes him a rarity in our times.
I received this book for free through Goodreads’ First Reads.
Overall, I enjoyed this book. This book is all about sabermetrics. I didn’t find all of the author’s arguments to be convincing (like the one against bunting), but others made a lot of sense (Kill the Win!). This book really makes you think about the way baseball is managed and how people are reluctant to try new techniques.
