Baltimore Babe Ruth (MD) Chapter meeting

About this event

The next meeting of the SABR Baltimore Babe Ruth Chapter's speaker series at the Babe Ruth Birthplace & Museum will be held on Saturday, November 14 at 12:00 pm. Join us to hear from one of baseball's brightest young minds, Katie Krall . Katie has built her career around understanding the complex thought processes behind Roster Construction, Contract Negotiation, and Player Evaluation in a Modern MLB Front Office.

With the proliferation of data in baseball over the past two decades, teams now have a plethora of resources to leverage for roster construction. How this qualitative and quantitative information is integrated into decision making in the Draft, free agency, and trade conversations will be analyzed by Katie Krall based on her experiences coaching for the Boston Red Sox, in Baseball Operations for the Cincinnati Reds, and at Major League Baseball in the Office of the Commissioner. The principles of conducting a negotiation as well as the metrics that set the markets will be outlined for a behind-the-scenes look at how today's front office executives build their teams.

This will be an in-person event at the museum, 216 Emory Street, Baltimore, MD 21230. All baseball fans are welcome to attend.
