In The Genius Who Saved Baseball, fourteen-year-old genius and baseball player Charlie Collier feels the same way. In a college class, he attempts to prove statistically to his statistics professor that baseball's obsession with analytics has resulted in a lower caliber of play. The professor gives him a C-. Undeterred, Charlie continues to work on his plan for a major league team to adopt his philosophies. He hits pay-dirt when his dad, a former minor leaguer, gets hired as an executive with the Nashville Knights, a new franchise in Major League Baseball. The team's charismatic owner, country music legend Big T. McCraw, makes the boldest move since Billy Beane and Moneyball, when he decides to adopt Charlie's unorthodox theories.
