I have always had a fascination with the development of baseball players. It started when coaching youth ball, and continued on to high school baseball. But what happens after a player gets drafted and signs that contract? Are these young men receiving the best possible instruction? Are the teams creating an environment for those players to maximize their abilities? How exactly do you accomplish that? Strictly through Sabermetrics? Is it done through “old school” instruction? Player development is very crucial to the success of any organization or team. This would apply to non-sports organizations as well. A fact to which I’m sure Mark could attest, in the operation of his company.
