Stats Students Hit Home Run with Red Wings Visit

Learning stats and making connections in the world of sports? That’s a home run! Our One Webster statistical reasoning in sports classes recently enjoyed a day at the ballpark—with an educational purpose!

Students got a behind-the-scenes tour of the Rochester Red Wings facilities, from the performance center and dugout to the press box, where they learned how technology and data analytics are changing the game in minor league baseball.

The experience didn’t stop there! A panel of five Red Wings employees shared their career journeys, college paths, and advice for finding success in the sports world. Even better? Students interested in shadowing received business cards to help make those connections—and one student has already taken advantage of the opportunity!
