Bloomberg Baseball Technology
The basic idea that I am getting regarding Bloomberg’s foray into MLB is that they are doing what MLBAM should have been doing: the consolidation and aggregation of data that all the teams are doing on their own. They are creating a data integration layer. Ideally, MLBAM would have done this, but they have, basically, partnered with Bloomberg to do it (presumably because of cost/benefit). Remember that MLBAM is 1/30th owned by each of the 30 teams, and so, it is silly for each team to replicate things that are really not IP of any one team. Analysis is the value added, not data integration. So, good for MLBAM / Bloomberg for finally doing this.
As for how far they are going and how well they are doing, I don’t know. Here is one review so far. If you’ve seen the product, feel free to post your comments.
