The R&D Team consists of four departments:
Baseball Operations: Responsible for researching and building baseball related insights and tools to evaluate and assess athletes at all levels of the game.
Data Science: Responsible for maintaining databases, generating insights from Driveline’s wealth of data, as well as creating reports and dashboards for both skill coaches and business departments alike.
Software: Responsible for building and supporting the systems used by data-driven coaches and players.
Sports Science: Responsible for evaluating and researching training methods and advising coaches on implementation.
The Driveline Baseball R&D team is also supported by other employees and internal contractors. Additionally, we have an informal advisory board of orthopedic surgeons, expert biomechanists, kinesiologists, quantitative analysts, and exercise scientists we consult with on a regular basis to guide the mission of the department.
