Ball Club speeds the process of analyzing and
transforming valuable data and getting it into the hands of highly
distributed teams with Prophecy's AI-powered data transformation
platform
PALO
ALTO, Calif., May 21, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Prophecy - provider of the industry's
only AI-powered data transformation platform, today announced
that its customer, the MLB 2023 World Series Champions Texas
Rangers Baseball Club, has completed a sweeping digital
transformation within its Baseball Operations to navigate the
explosion of complex data and deliver the next generation of
Moneyball. Utilizing Databricks Data Intelligence Platform and
Prophecy's AI-powered data transformation platform, the new cloud
data architecture enabled the club to optimize hundreds of millions
of records and terabytes of data, ranging from player performance
to player development and scouting, player biomechanics, and
weather data to help the team win in all types of conditions.
The global sports analytics market is projected to grow to
$22.13 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of
28.7%. From its early stages of rudimentary data collection to the
current sophisticated, data-driven decision-making processes, the
sports analytics industry now integrates and leverages data science
and advanced statistical methods for extracting meaningful insights
from complex datasets.
"By moving away from our legacy, on-premise architecture and
leveraging Prophecy as the interface to the Databricks Data
Intelligence Platform, we were able to develop a self-service cloud
platform for transparent data availability that would allow for
autonomy and agility across data teams while enabling us to bring
internally produced data products across the organization to
internal data consumers," said Alexander
Booth, Assistant Director of R&D for the Texas Rangers.
"This enabled data consumers to handle data sets that included
classic data from across the organization as well as new text,
video, sensor/IOT, and even terabytes of biometric data."
Using Databricks Data Intelligence Platform and Prophecy's
low code data transformation platform, all data users are now able
to turn raw data into reliable, analytics, and AI-ready data using
visual data pipelines. More specifically the Texas Rangers:
- Enabled analysts and developers to utilize ten times
more data than before using Prophecy on top of Databricks
and produced ETL-ready pipelines seven times as
fast.
- Analyzed terabytes of in-game data to optimize player
performance and scouting.
- Created effective data flows in a sustainable, reliable,
extensible, and "productionalized" way. This delivered seven
times the velocity in producing pipeline for analysts. Now,
pipeline developers can roll out a pipeline in less than a day
compared to more than a week previously.
- Overcame the challenges of technical resource
constraints and the complexities of scaling real-time data
pipelines with Prophecy's low-code data transformation
platform.
With biometrics data including skeleton tracking, they
can understand exactly how a pitcher moves when he throws the
ball and monitor how a batter swings. They can tell how open a
player's hips are, how long their stride is, how big their knee
bend is, etc., providing a new level of coaching, which is a
revolution in the game in and of itself.
"The Texas Rangers Baseball Club is exemplary in its use of
analytics," said Raj Bains, CEO and founder of Prophecy. "Their new
platform brings data analysts into the process of creating
production pipelines early, delivering analysis-ready data to power
new AI and analytics that help them improve their game across the
board. They are a great example of how integrating and leveraging
data science and advanced statistical methods can extract
meaningful insights from complex datasets."
As an Icon sponsor of the upcoming Databricks Data and AI Summit
(DAIS) 2024, Prophecy and Alexander
Booth of The Texas Rangers will be presenting a session,
titled, How the Texas Rangers Transform Data for Championship
Winning Insights on Wednesday, June

Booth will be featured in Thursday's Keynote address on
