It’s incredible, and we were told the Cubs went from not using it to becoming their biggest clients. Bloomberg gave teams a free trial when it first came out but less than 2/3 of teams use it. The feature shown allows clubs and individual subscribers to select any situation (1-2 count, runner on 2nd, 1 run lead after 6th inning for any pitcher) and check the stats/pitch location, and even watch a conglomeration of 10 second video clips of the pitches. Without knowing the cost I couldn’t figure out what team would NOT want this.

The “Scrappy-grit Index”? Whatever it is, its probably measured in Ecksteins.
