As analytics have swept the baseball world, many coaches have expressed their displeasure the new ways to measure success based solely on numbers. However, new Stanhope Elmore baseball coach Kaleb Shuman is embracing the change and is looking to make a difference with how the Mustangs train at the plate.

“The change in culture has been crazy for us,” Stanhope senior Sully Stevens said. “It has gone from kind of unorganized to everything on a tight ship and military like. Everything is down to the minute. We are much more focused on everything.”
