Congratulations to operations analyst Brandon Tew, our All-Star employee for November. Brandon works on 3 sports here - his primary expertise is in baseball but he also helps out on our football and basketball data tracking at a similar skill level. We consider him our "Pitching Ninja," as his greatest expertise is in scouting all things pitching-related (read his recent 2,500-word scouting report on Roki Sasaki - https://lnkd.in/eVUkYP3j). He is one of the primary teachers at Scout School, where we teach our seasonal employees the skills of scouting. In the words of others here, he's dependable, reliable, and a great teammate. Congratulations, Brandon!

Thanks to SIS alums Mike Lounsberry of the Panthers and Robert Simpson of the Broncos for joining us for our latest career development talk this week. Also, thanks to Owen Helton of Wake Forest University for speaking to our seasonal Video Scouts last week. Part of working at SIS is connecting with those who come before you to learn from their experiences. We're proud of our NFL and college football alumni who have passed through our company the last few years. They provide a wealth of knowledge and experience for our current group to draw upon.

Daniel Stonehouse is one of the key people behind the scenes helping power SIS in its sports analytics work. Dan joined us in 2021 and currently works as an IT Analyst. He oversees and manages the computer systems we use on a daily basis. He also assists with troubleshooting on issues that come up with our computer systems and also maintains asset inventory and deploys endpoints. "I enjoy working at Sports Info Solutions because of the people who work here," he said. "There is a great group of people who make up this company. When work is not being done, sports is always something to talk about, too! And I can talk with anyone here because I watch every sport and don't have a favorite team. I watch for great plays and an awesome game." We currently have an opening for an IT Analyst to work with Dan and others in his department. Come join our team! #nowhiring #ITAnalyst https://lnkd.in/eNRJiBX5

SIS Salutes its All-Star for October, Joshua Johnson - our Director of Data and Product Innovation. He has been with SIS since June 2023 after his company, Blueprint Stats, was acquired by SIS in 2023. "Josh is always forthcoming with ideas on how to solve problems, even if they may involve more work for himself," said SIS Director of Product Design, Elliott Boswell. "Josh is an excellent listener and truly tries to understand the user of the product he is working on. His tasks are routinely anticipated and often even completed before they are even assigned." Congratulations, Josh!

On October 24 we'll be announcing the winners of the 19th annual Fielding Bible Awards. These awards are given to the best defensive player at each position, as well as awards for multi-position excellence and Defensive Player of the Year. This is among the most prominent public-facing projects we do all year. It is highly regarded within the baseball industry and we are gratified by the appreciation the players show when they receive the award. The work begins with our Video Scouts and baseball operations team charting every play of every game, allowing us to calculate stats such as Defensive Runs Saved, Good Fielding Plays, and Defensive Misplays & Errors. It concludes with a panel of baseball media members, sabermetricians, and former MLB players filling out a Top 10 ballot for each Award. "We take the Fielding Bible Awards extremely seriously," said SIS editorial operations lead Mark Simon, who helps administrate the Awards with director of baseball analytics Joe Rosales. "SIS was initially founded on the idea of being able to dig a little deeper to provide more profound baseball analysis. The work we've done over the years to measure defensive excellence is at the heart of what we do as a company." Be sure to look for the announcement of winners on October 24. #FieldingBibleAwards #sportsanalytics
