Steve Kraske speaks with Dr. Daniel Mack, Director of Analytics for the Royals, from inside the Diamond Club at Kauffman Stadium.

Kansas City has been waiting anxiously for baseball season to officially begin after an epic World Series run last year that left the Royals just short of the title. As fans waited outside the ballpark before the home opener, Up To Date was inside talking to the people behind the scenes at Kauffman Stadium.

If you want to learn more about the analysis of baseball statistics, Dr. Daniel Mack, Up To Date guest and Director of Analytics for the Royals will speak at 11 a.m. this Saturday as part of the Science Matters: Second Saturday Lectures at the Linda Hall Library.

When I host Up To Date each morning at 9, my aim is to engage the community in conversations about the Kansas City area’s challenges, hopes and opportunities. I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers. Reach me at steve@kcur.org or on Twitter @stevekraske.
Kansas City needs journalists who show up not just on people’s worst days, but on their best ones — and the boring ones in between. As KCUR’s news director, I build relationships across the metro, so our newsroom can bring you critical information when times are tough, and seek out moments of joy to celebrate.
