Summary
Richard Anderson is a Director of Quantitative Analysis with 11 years of experience applying statistical modeling, causal inference, and experimentation to professional baseball and media. A Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Michigan, he translates rigorous academic training into practical analytics—building predictive player-value models, running experiments at Warner Bros. Discovery, and founding data-science programs within MLB clubs. He has led and grown teams, created continuing-education curricula on GLMs and Bayesian methods, and routinely communicates technical results to coaches and executives. Based in Los Angeles, he combines deep domain expertise in sports analytics with a talent for turning messy new data into reliable forecasts—when not mentoring early-career scientists or walking his dog Ralphie.
