Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"Winner of a SABR Baseball Research Award, Society for American Baseball Research"
"Finalist for the CASEY Award for Best Baseball Book of the Year, Spitball Magazine"
"The subject of Christopher Phillips’s Scouting and Scoring is baseball, but it’s worth reading for more than just the baseball. The book is an effort to help us understand one of the oldest problems in modern societies, which is how to evaluate human beings."---Louis Menand, New Yorker
"Phillips’ book is an enticing read for baseball data enthusiasts and, more broadly, those interested in thinking about notions such as ‘fact’ and ‘truth,’ how one measures the seemingly immeasurable, and attempts to quantify human potential."---Russ Goodman, MAA Reviews
