Olivia Kayler is a Southeast regional sales manager with Palfinger North America in Wilmington, North Carolina. When she is not providing solutions to operators in the commercial trucking and equipment industry, Olivia Kayler is a member of Rocky Mountain SABR, the most distinguished Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) chapter in the United States. Sabermetrics, sometimes referred to as SABRmetrics, is a term used to describe the statistical analysis of baseball as a means of defining in-game activities and outcomes. The term takes its name from the Society for American Baseball Research, an organization established in 1971. Bill James is typically credited with the early development of sabermetrics. A basic example of how sabermetrics works involves a player’s batting average. To determine a player’s batting average, individuals can divide the player’s number of hits by total number of at bats. However, the resulting number does not account for how frequently the batter is walked or differentiate between a .300 hitter who consistently hits singles and a .290 batter who frequently hits home runs. With these failings in mind, sabermetrics developed new statistics such as on-base percentage and slugging percentage. Sabermetrics was famously the topic of the 2011 sports film Moneyball, starring Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill. The film, which grossed over $110 million and earned six Academy Award nominations, told the story of the 2002 Oakland Athletics. The team embraced sabermetrics, making a number of analytics-driven, seemingly unusual roster decisions that yielded a 103-59 record and a memorable 20-game winning streak.
