We are pleased to announce the 2025 Connecticut Sports Analytics Symposium (CSAS) Data Challenge. Participants will focus on using new data on bat speed and swing length to analyze some aspects of the pitcher/batter interaction in Major League Baseball. Finalists will be invited to present at the 2025 CSAS on April 11-12, 2025. Winning teams will have the opportunity to showcase their team's work to data scientists in the baseball industry.
The challenge is open to students only. Please register for the data challenge by December 1, 2024, so that we can get a headcount for planning purposes. The submission deadline is January 15, 2025, and finalists will be notified by February 15, 2025. More details can be found here: https://statds.org/events/csas2025/challenge.html. Professors and students are encouraged to use the data challenge as a course project in statistics or data science in Fall 2024.
The 6th CSAS (formerly UCSAS) will be held on April 11-12, 2025, at Yale University. Please contact Brian Macdonald (brian.macdonald@yale.edu) if you are interested in joining the poster judging team or sponsoring the event. Registration for the conference will be available at a later date.
