The term Sabermetrics comes from saber (Society for American Baseball Research) and metrics (as in econometrics). Sabermetrics is the apllication of statistical analysis to baseball data in order to measure in-game activity. Student reactions indicate that these exercises, which are anchored in real-life data with a real-life story, are successful in motivating student interest in statistics.Baseball Analytics: An Introduction to Sabermetrics using Python The exercises use real-life data freely sourced from Major League Baseball and the nonfiction story of Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game. This teaching brief describes a set of logical, sequential, and ready-to-use exercises that motivate statistical inquiry and thought in line with the GAISE College Report recommendations. While real-life data provide a context for the application of statistical methods, the data does not necessarily provide a context or process for developing the ability to think statistically. One method to meet these criteria is to develop exercises and problems that use real-life data. Work in educational psychology highlights the importance of connecting new concepts to pre-existing knowledge, mental models, or schema. To motivate students to this end, the literature suggests that statistics courses use exercises that are relevant and familiar to students. A primary goal of introductory statistics courses is to develop a student's ability to think statistically.
