According to the Orioles 2018 Media Guide:
Director, Analytics & Major League Contracts ---------- Sarah Gelles
Developer, Basball Systems --------------------------------------Di Zou
Vice President, Strategy, Analytics & Development - Scott Lewis
Information Systems - 4 person staff

The report linked below is 3 1/2 years old, but is worth the read. Among the 122 professional sports teams evaluated, the Rays rank 4th, the Red Sox 5th and the Yankees 6th.

What about "spin rates"?
The Astros were ranked 2nd of 122 teams in the ESPN survey linked in my opening post.

Changes are coming to the Astros’ front office, as Sig Mejdal and Ryan Hallahan – members of their Ground Control analytics team – are leaving, per Brian McTaggart of MLB.com and Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle. Their exits come on the heels of director of research and development Mike Fast’s September departure. Both Mejdal and Hallahan had been in Houston since 2012. Mejdal, a former NASA researcher, joined the Astros as a director of decision sciences. He spent part of the 2017 season as a coach at the Class-A level, interestingly enough, and held the title of special assistant to the general manager, process development in 2018. Hallahan served as the Astros’ senior technical architect.

Because of the defensive shifts?

That was my thought. When the shift was a new thing, the O's were regarded as bleeding edge.

That said, this ESPN article just appears to be based on the authors' impressions, which is kind of ironic for a ranking of analytics programs.

Interesting.   What position did she take there?

All I can find are the tweets below, and they don't say.

      I don't understand that either?   Baumann has a 3.44 ERA and won 10 games last year, he definitely will not clear waivers. He could go to the Yankees!

      Cal thinks Holiday moved to fast through the system

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      He can’t help that he looks young and doesn’t have facial hair. And yes he was extremely ineffective in his 30+ ABs. But as we have all seen, the jump from AAA to MLB is the most difficult than it has ever been in 2024. Look at how the #2 prospect is doing in MIL … spoiler alert - not good. Holliday is going to have to find a balance between being patient with his swing decisions but not falling behind in the count so regularly. He will also learn to adjust to the velo that you only consistently see in the big leagues.

      Mullins is going to get the majority of the starts until the All-Star Break to get him to turn it around.  They are a better team with him in CF and he is just hitting in the mid 200’s.  If he continues to struggle then they may have to make some changes.

      The Orioles have plenty of 8th reliever candidates anyways.  Jonathan Heasley (0.60, 0.73 WHIP) and Dillon Tate (3.60, 0.80 WHIP) are on the 40-man while Kade Strowd (3.00, 0.67 WHIP) may have the best stuff of the three. And that's not even considering the Chayce McDermott could still be an option in the pen this year though I think they'd use the other ones first and keep him starting in AAA.

      I’m fine with what DR keeps saying — maybe others will eventually believe him — that he is leaving baseball decisions to his baseball people. And his GM doesn’t like to tip his hand about anything, especially contracts. I think these guys like winning and seem to like their team. They will make mistakes, but I do have faith they want the O’s to be as good as they can be with the resources they have. Of course I hope they sign some of our young guys and expand the payroll. I just don’t need promises in an interview.
