Our next Alumni Spotlight is Christopher Goudoras.

Chris is the director of analytics for the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) baseball team.

Chris' job is to share analytic information with the coaching staff and players in order to help the team play better and win more games. It has been a successful tenure. The school won the College World Series in 2022.

Chris says the best part of the job is "working for a program with arguably the most passionate fanbase in the country."

Chris has been working for the team since 2018 when he was hired as the team's director of baseball operations. He was a Baseball Video Scout for SIS in 2016 and 2017.

Fun fact: Though Chris' work is based in logic and reason, he is superstitious.

"If we’re on a winning streak, I will use the same color pen charting in the dugout then switch to a different color the next game any time we lose."

This week, our alumni spotlight goes to Nihar Maskara, a pro personnel analyst for the Minnesota Twins.

Nihar was a top Video Scout for us in 2021 and was well known for his questions and his suggestions. We turned the tables on him by interviewing him for our company podcast.

Nihar talked about what he does in his job and what he did as a student analyst at Wake Forest that prepared him for the major leagues. He also shared tips for those who aspire to work in baseball and those just starting out.
