Former Major League Baseball pitcher Michael Schwimer joins Eben Novy-Williams to discuss a host of issues related to the business of sports, all centered around data and analytics. Schwimer, 33, had a two-year career with the Philadelphia Phillies, during which he built a pitch-sequencing model tailored to each specific hitter. After leaving baseball, he founded Big League Advance, a company that invests in minor league players, offering upfront cash in return for a percentage of any future MLB earnings. Schwimer's latest venture is Jambos Picks, a subscription service that sells sports betting advice. He discusses both businesses, their opportunities for growth and the skepticism surrounding both industries.
