Batting Lab

With the recent opening of SAS’ Batting Lab, kids can begin linking a sport they love to how data can help them improve. In a male-dominated field, it’s important for girls to start practicing data literacy at an early age so they can have an equal opportunity to join the field if they choose to. As kids continue to use the Batting Lab, we look forward to seeing how it improves not only their baseball skills but also their future.
