Big data fuels big leagues and tabletop sports games

Sports Info Solutions is one of the foremost players in the game of big data and how it informs sports not only on the field of play but on the tabletop.

Mark Simon, content lead for SIS, is a former newspaperman, ESPN staffer and one-time Strat-O-Matic player who run the SIS baseball podcast. Mark shares some of the intricate workings of acquiring big-league sports data and the critical job of the SIS video scouts – not a few of whom have gone on to careers with major league teams like the Rays, Orioles and Twins.

It is the keen eyes of the SIS video scouts that glean reams of advanced playing data from broadcast after broadcast. PT Games recently signed an agreement to use SIS data to inform its PC-based football game — and Mark shares his work with SOM on a recent MLB article simulation project, as well as his gaming history with Strat, MicroLeague and Diamond Mind.

Mark is also a huge fan of Keith Hernandez and strongly supports Keith's entry into the ‪@baseballhall‬.
