During his session with reporters at the general managers’ meetings in Las Vegas this week, Scott Boras went hard after the manner in which teams are deploying analytics.

It’s clear the super-agent, who represents a who’s who of stars throughout MLB, hears complaints from clients unsettled by the game’s direction. Information is readily available, and many teams expect it to be utilized. Players, according to Boras, feel overwhelmed and perhaps threatened by it.

“We’re constantly seeing players talk about the fact that the focus on the standards given by the team are different than what the player utilized to arrive in the major leagues,” Boras said. “He feels he’s no longer achieving the standards teams want, and [teams] want change from the very platform that the very player used to arrive in the major leagues.

“To be given a flood of information daily without the proper bridge for execution, we’re finding clutter. We’re finding players that are [under]-performing. We are finding players whose confidence levels are shaken, and so we need to address the analytics bridge. We need to create new methodologies. We need baseball people to understand analytics. We also need analytics people to understand we need a communicative bridge and a method and timing to communicate this information to the players.”
