The reasoning engine for baseball
Beyond the data.
One engine, every decision
Not an analytics tool. An operating system.
01
The Player
Follow one athlete from the first read to the final level.
Player Intelligence
One player on the universal KR scale: the hitter, the pitcher sub-engine, and the two-way read, all comparable, every level.
Development
The banded aging curve, the old-player-skills decay order (speed fades first, plate discipline last), and the multiplicative pitcher injury stack that dominates the sport.
Placement & Pathways
Where a player should go on the level ladder, and the amateur read projected across the metal-to-wood bat change into the pro game.
Representation
The agent or advisor graded as an institution from the record: deals beat-vs-market, quality, and retention, read for the player choosing representation.
Era Projection
The same player moved across eras, from the dead-ball game to the Statcast game, translated factor by factor.
02
The Team
Read a team, play the game, coach it.
Team Intelligence
Team KR as run creation and run prevention, the additive core reconciled to the Pythagorean, the pitcher-fielder attribution, and the farm system as one organization on one currency.
Simulation
Play any matchup, series, or season out plate appearance by plate appearance, then trace exactly why it happened.
Game Ops
The advance report, the live bullpen and pinch-hit command center, and the postgame audit.
Game Grades
KPG and KTG: the single-game player and team grades on the rating scale, the honesty check on the standing KR.
03
The Staff
Rate the people who build the team and the program behind them, the fingerprint that travels. In baseball the development read is the sharpest edge.
Coaches
The manager, the pitching coach, and the hitting coach, graded on what beats the baseline (never raw wins), then run through the portability test across organizations.
Performance
The strength and conditioning staff as a named actor: the physical-development gain, and whether it travels.
Medical
The medical staff as a named actor: the availability gain and the pitcher-durability read, normalized for load and roster.
Program
The organization as developer and destination: the pitching-factory and hitting-factory residual that re-prices every prospect, on three axes that never collapse.
04
The College Program
Run a college program: find, price, and build.
Recruiting
High school, JUCO, and the portal in one currency, ranked by how much they move the team.
Transfer Portal
The college-to-college market: targets priced per destination, fit, and cost to land.
Valuation & NIL
What a player is worth, priced two ways (his market number against value to your team), plus the thin baseball NIL and revenue-share slice, and the gap that is your edge.
Funding & Scholarships
Settlement compliance, the 34-man roster and full funding, the eligibility clock, Title IX, and equivalencies.
General Manager
The collective and roster operator rated as a person, the way a pro GM is.
College Roster
Add a player, re-run Team KR, read the delta against the scholarship and NIL cost.
05
The Front Office
Run a pro franchise: draft, sign, trade, and build on service time and control, the economy baseball has instead of a cap.
MLB Draft
The board as a surplus-and-pool problem: slot values, the overslot and underslot allocation game, and the whole draft as one pool.
International Signings
The international amateur bonus pool and the academy pipeline, plus the posting system and the under-25 posted-player fork.
Free Agency
The open market under the tax: the qualifying offer, dollars per win, and the aging-curve trap that free agency pays into.
Trades
The two-sided market where the asset is the contract and the control, and prospects (six-plus years of future control) are the currency.
Value & Service Time
The six-year control ladder (pre-arb, arbitration, free agency), the Competitive Balance Tax, and the surplus of a cost-controlled young star.
General Manager
The GM on acquisition, control, value, conduct, and managing up.
Owner
The owner on commitment, spend against the tax, non-interference, patience, and infrastructure.
Pro Roster
Add, move, or option a player and re-run the Pro Team KR, priced against the 26 and 40-man, options, and Rule 5 rulebook.
