Analytics has almost killed my love for baseball. Multiple pitching changes in an inning, choppy play and a bunch of numbers that are overkill. No one steals bases anymore, no squeeze bunt plays, sacrifice fly, or stretching a single to a double.
Same thing in basketball. The analytics have shown that any shot that's not a dunk or a three pointer is inefficient. It's something that always seemed to make sense to me, I always wondered why teams didn't bomb away since you need to shoot 33% from 3 to be the same as 50% from 2. But it's made the game really formulaic and boring at times.
That's not the fault of the analytics or the teams or the players. It's just natural evolution of teams trying to find an edge. It's going to be interesting to see how these leagues stay ahead of the analytics and evolve their game so that they're both entertaining and true to the heart and soul of the sport.
No idea how - that's not my problem to solve, thankfully (though the solution in basketball is fairly obvious - move the three point line back).
