Baseball Sabermetrics
Baseball Sabermetrics and Statistics Club
Sabermetrics is the study of advanced baseball statistics. This club conducts in-depth discussions about everything related to baseball, with members taking part in a fantasy baseball league and guest speakers brought in on a variety of topics throughout the year.
Over the course of the 2022-23 academic year, club members worked on several research projects including constructing a model for Beat the Streak, evaluating which pitchers could benefit from a change in pitch repertoire, and analyzing the effect of a pitcher’s jersey color on hitter performance.
Club meetings also consisted of discussing Major League Baseball (MLB) current events, participating in a mock offseason where members act as the General Manger of a Major League Baseball franchise, and fun activities such as MLB jeopardy and watch parties.
The club welcomes numerous guest speakers throughout the year, including MLB executives, baseball publication writers and baseball analytics professionals such as Jeff Passan, MLB insider and columnist at ESPN; Sean Forman, President of Sports Reference; Scott Shapiro, Product Manager at Major League Baseball, Jennifer Brann, Baseball Analytics analyst for the Miami Marlins, Bryan Hayes, Director of Baseball Development for the New York Mets; Jim Callis, writer at MLB Pipeline; Mitch Colahan, Assistant Director of Amateur Scouting for the New York Yankees; Seth Daniels, Director of Diamond Sports for Rapsodo; Bobby Evans, former General Manager for the San Francisco Giants; Rohan Gupta, Baseball Operations associate for the New York Yankees; and SU alumnus Justin Perline, Quantitative Analyst for the Pirates, among others.
In Spring 2023, for the ninth straight year, Club members participated in the Society of American Baseball Research (SABR) Analytics’ Spring Diamond Dollars Case Competition in Phoenix (AZ). Undergraduate teams were separated into competition rooms, where they presented to judges. They also attended a Chicago Cubs Spring Training game.
“Having a Sabermetrics club at Syracuse is important as it allows for students to study in-depth advanced baseball statistics to create a better understanding of the game and of player value,” Paul said. “Students will learn the origins and uses of sabermetric statistics and then discuss and debate their usage. The goal of the club is to inform and encourage the use of advanced baseball statistics for a variety of uses in the industry.”
Since 2015, SU SABR club members have competed in the prestigious SABR Diamond Dollars Case Competition at NYU, and winning best presentation in 2017. Students are given a topic and then given five days to collect data, create a model, and prepare a 30-minute presentation on the topic to be given in New York City in front of Major League Baseball executives. The Club has seen its research (“The Effects of Atmospheric Conditions on Pitchers”) published in ESPN The Magazine.
Club officers for 2023-24 are President Nathan Backman, Vice President Jonah Soos, Director of Programming Marcus Mann, Director of Research Charlie Maddux, Director of Outreach Rob White, Director of Engagement Caitlin Kohlmeier, Director of Operations Gavi Sela and Fiscal Agent Hayden Orenstein.

Basketball Analytics
Basketball Analytics Club
The organization was assembled to conduct analysis on the NBA, NCAA, and high school basketball and has expedited the process of recording large sums of data at an efficient pace. Club members are working on research on a variety of topics focusing on professional and college basketball organizations, teams, players and business strategies.
During the 2022-23 academic year, guest speakers included Chris Robinson (Utah Jazz), Jay Porterfield (Los Angeles) Clippers, Buddy Scott (Boston Celtics), Nick Elam (Elam Ending) and SPM alum Dom Samangy (Arkansas Razorbacks.) Club members participated in the Syracuse University Basketball Analytics Competition, Mock Case Competition, Milwaukee Bucks Hackathon, Tulane Pro Basketball Negotiation Competition, Mock Trade Deadline, Expansion Draft, NBA Mock Draft, Fantasy Basketball League and a Scavenger Hunt.
In Spring 2022, several members attended the UMass Amherst NBA Mock Trade Deadline competition. They acted as general managers in a simulation of the NBA trade deadline. Attendees were broken into groups and assigned an NBA franchise. The groups then began trading and transforming their rosters for the duration of the day. The event gave students the opportunity to practice first-hand what takes place during NBA trade negotiations in regard to trade rules, salary cap management, and the CBA, among others. Past members also presented their research at the Midwest Sports Analytics Meeting at Central College in Pella, Iowa.
RJ Frahm will serve as president for the 2023-24 academic year.
Football Analytics
Football Analytics Club
The Football Analytics Club was established during the 2017-18 academic year and became an officially recognized Syracuse University student organization in Fall 2019. The club started with four members, grew to 40 the next year, and now features more than 100 members. The club meets weekly discussing all things related to football, conducting research, competing in trivia contests, and welcoming guest speakers, among other activities.
During the 2021-22 academic year, club members used modeling techniques from class to compare the NFL’s Most Valuable Players across several seasons to determine the overall MVP over the last decade. Students also analyzed data from Pro Football Focus and assisted with projects. The club held a mock offseason after the Super Bowl. Students were given full control over the NFL team of their choosing as the club president acted as Commissioner of the league. Students could make agreed-upon trades, sign or release players, and even restructure contracts. The exercise gave students a glimpse of how difficult it is to stay under the salary cap while simulating an offseason. The simulation ended with a three-round mock draft just before the official NFL Draft. Also, club members formed teams for the NFL’s Big Data Bowl, working in groups to answer the prompt, while gaining valuable experience competing in the intense football analytics competition.
A highlight of the Spring 2022 semester was hosting the Second Annual Syracuse University Football Analytics Blitz in partnership with Pro Football Focus. More than 10 teams from colleges and universities across the country participated in the event that featured judges from Pro Football Focus. The teams received their prompt the week before the competition and were given one week to solve the prompt and put together a presentation on their findings.
In Fall 2019 and Fall 2018, club members attended a Buffalo Bills game, where members met with Sport Analytics alumnus Evan Weiss ’19, a football analytics analyst for the Bills. Weiss was also the founder and first president of SU’s Football Analytics Club.
Club members have worked on many research projects over the past few years, exploring topics such as “Do NFL Players Perform Worse After Receiving a Large Free Agent Contract;” “Do NFL Referees Display Bias Towards Certain Calls or Teams;” “How Winning/Losing Streaks Impact Future Winning Chances and Betting Lines;” and “How Player Arrests Affect Team Winning Percentage in the NFL.” The Club has also conducted research for the XFL.
The Football Analytics Club routinely welcomes sport industry guest speakers such as Neil Hornsby, founder and CEO of Pro Football Focus; Bryan Kilmeade and Sam Schwartzstein, of the XFL’s football operations department; Tucker Zeleny, director of sports analytics at the University of Nebraska; JT Busco, Syracuse University football assistant coach; and Ryan Smith, analyst and account manager at Pro Football Focus.

Sportsbook Analytics
Sportsbook Analytics Club
The Falk College Sportsbook Analytics Club was founded in 2019 in response to one of the fastest growing industries in the nation. The club and its members continue to explore, learn, and discuss the ever-changing landscape of sport prediction markets, such as legalized sports betting and daily fantasy sports.
The club has annually expanded both in membership and in programming. In addition to discussion about the industry’s news and latest trends, the club has introduced workshops, competitions, and a collaboration with a start-up platform called Playd, a platform in which users trade stock in players using “Playd Cash” to try to build a portfolio. Dividends and prices of these players are determined by performance, trading volumes, and even real-world contracts. Members of the Sportsbook Analytics Club tested and provided feedback to the platform, utilizing their knowledge of prediction markets and player projections along the way.
Club members take part in a unique “Football Squares” competition involving Super Bowl LV. Each square had its own “odds” of happening, to which club members selected squares trying to match probabilities to an end-of-quarter football score. Members were able to test their understanding of a market’s implied probability as it relates to predicting NFL scores.
The club completed its first official research project in Spring 2022 by submitting a poster to the Falk Research Poster Competition titled, “Does Win Percentage Correlate to Point Production in the NFL?” Club members scraped data to see if two teams over .500 win percentage would score the “over” on total points and if two teams under .500 win percentage would score the “under” on total points. Members created a model to predict over/under based on win percentage, but it was found that win percentage should not be used as an indicator of total point production in the NFL.
The club also hosted Adam Israel (SPM ’19), Sportsbook Operations Coordinator at BetMGM, who gave valuable insight to members as to how BetMGM resolves client issues on their mobile app. The club also hosted Jak Jones, Director of Online and Sportsbook Analytics at Caesars Entertainment, who shared how to improve coding skills and how to better predict win probabilities in sport.
Students from all majors and backgrounds are welcome to weekly meetings. Club officers for 2023-2024 are President Hunter Kuchenbaur at hckuchen@syr.edu , Vice President Charlie Maddux, Director of Research Dylan Stefeil, Director of Outreach Robbie Giegerich and Treasurer Caleb Heller.

Castro, who graduated from the Sport Management program in 2018, shared her experience of graduating from Syracuse and working her way through New York City professional sports teams.
During Women’s History Month, the organization collaborated with Women in Sports and Events (WISE) to put on a Title IX panel, featuring Syracuse Athletics’ Senior Women’s Administrator Kirsten Elleby and WomenX executives Tiffany Bullock (COO) and Mary Ciampa (Founder and CEO). The conversation stemmed around Title IX’s influence on college athletics and the intersectionality of being a woman and person of color working in sport. Additionally, the organization met with student-athletes at Fowler High School to teach them about the opportunities available working in sport and college advice for transitioning out of athletics.
The club is always looking for new members to take part in its activities and meetings.
