5.1 Introduction

As mentioned previously, we have been approached by the headquarters office for Bizarro Ball about their interest in using analytics to improve the quality of the game. Specifically, the business users are interested in using the detailed data about all the events in a game to answer what we would call business intelligence questions like:

   How well is each batter performing overall?

   How well is each pitcher performing?

   Are there differences due to external factors like when and where the games were played?

   And so on.
