Really, there’s a journal for that?
Ben Alamar is an assistant professor of management at Menlo College and the founding editor of the Journal of Quantitative Analysis in Sports.
He has written articles such as Who Controls the Plate? Isolating the Pitcher/Batter Subgame and The Passing Premium Puzzle.
How can you get a job like his? Easy, just find ways to sneak sports connections into your doctoral program in Public Finance and Mathematical Economics, the degree Alamar earned at UCSB.
Alamar recently analyzed which baseball teams will benefit most from the addition of two more teams to the MLB playoffs.
