Professor Wicentowski,

By way of introduction, my name is Theo Feder and I am a Quantitative
Analyst with the New York Yankees.

I am writing to request your assistance in finding talented recent and
upcoming graduates for a couple of positions within the Baseball Operations
department of the New York Yankees. These roles, which are akin to
fellowships, last 12 months and are intended to prepare recent graduates
for a career in Baseball Operations. Your familiarity with the top students
in your department will be of tremendous help in this effort.

Here are the specifics on the roles we are looking to fill for the coming
year:

§  Associate, Quantitative Analysis
<https://www.teamworkonline.com/baseball-jobs/baseballjobs/new-york-yankees/associate-quantitative-analysis-1944125>:
This position will give students hands-on experience with quantitative
projects related to player evaluation, player development, and/or in-game
strategy. For this role, we are looking for students with strong
quantitative reasoning, familiarity with statistical programming, and a
passion for baseball.

§  Associate, Baseball Operations
<https://www.teamworkonline.com/baseball-jobs/baseballjobs/new-york-yankees/associate-baseball-operations-1944094>:
This position will give students hands-on experience with various important
baseball operations tasks, including advance scouting, data collection and
entry, and video charting. For this role, we are looking for candidates who
are highly detail-oriented and have solid working knowledge of current
baseball players, rules, and strategies.

We often get questions about which position students should apply to. The
main difference between the roles is that the Quantitative Analysis
position is almost solely dedicated to statistical analysis to inform
baseball operations decisions. The Baseball Operations position involves
less of the quantitative side (although statistical projects will come up)
and deals more with assisting the advance scouting process, charting games
from video, and general baseball operations administration.


*A few important logistical details:*

§  *Given that this is a 12-month role, we are only looking for students
who graduate in or before Summer 2019.*

§  *Applications are rolling and we get a large volume of applications, so
we encourage students to apply as soon as possible.*

§  *We only take applications via the links above. We will not review
resumes or take applications anywhere else.*


If possible, could you please forward this information to any students or
recent alumni who would potentially be qualified and interested? If they
have any specific questions, they can feel free to reach out to me directly
(tfeder at yankees.com).


Regards,

Theo
