I just found your channel and it rocks. I’ve always love sports data and didn’t realize I could deal with it for a living. Currently pursuing this career and your channel is motivating and the videos get me pumped about what I could be doing every day for a living
I'm actually doing a full video on this as well, but going way into more detail in my explanations because a lot of them on here were short and simple due to writing the comment quickly. A couple of notes on my answers... Question 3: it's a poorly worded question because I read it as 500 PA being what their OPS was and their AVG with RISP is a smaller sample (nobody gets 500 PA with RISP). Question 4: All stats are predictive in nature, yes... but BABIP is directly used to predict future batting average because players will regress to their career BABIP in most situations. You can use that information to determine is the player was lucky or unlucky in their current AVG. A few of the other ones... yeah, I could've explained better (and some of the questions are worded poorly) but I stand by the answer I gave (also got confirmation from Tom Tango that he agrees with those answers).

Thanks for the info on getting into the profession. Wish I applied to some of these when I was looking at internships. Seems impossible to get in now
