Andrew Friedman, general manager of the Tampa Bay Rays, a club we’ve seen are at the forefront of analytics, says his club always “postmortems” decisions at a later date. “We keep copious notes on the variables we knew, everything we knew going in,” he says. “Then we go back and look at it to review the process. It’s something we’re continuing to refine and will be in perpetuity. I hope to never get to the point where we’re content, or we feel great about everything and go into autopilot mode.”
