Position overview

SIS is looking for highly motivated individuals with a desire to work in the baseball industry. Data scouts will have a chance to make an immediate impression on the company. Each data scout will be collecting details that are directly used by SIS clients (including major league teams) for advance scouting and evaluation purposes. Not only will the data scouts become more familiar with the strengths and weaknesses of hundreds of amateur and professional players, but they will also learn the ins and outs of the baseball statistics industry.

Former data scouts have risen through MLB front offices after getting their start reviewing two to three games per day at SIS. MLB teams frequently contact us for recommendations when they need to fill a position within their organization, and our top data scouts each year routinely land team internships and/or full-time jobs. Multiple data scouts have been a part of World Series champion organizations over the years.

We take pride in making our internships great development opportunities for those looking to get their start in baseball. In addition to gaining invaluable experience reviewing thousands of players across different levels, we offer introductory classes that cover creating scouting reports and using the database management language, SQL. We also provide insight and advice from previous SIS data scouts who have branched out into a variety of areas in the sports industry.

About Sports Info Solutions

Pioneers in the Sports Data Industry

SIS was founded on the belief that decision making in sports could be improved and that we could help teams win more games through the use of better data, analytics, and technology.

That belief has been validated repeatedly since our founding in 2002 as we continue to revolutionize the way the game is played on and off the field.

Company overview

Our mission is to enrich and optimize the decision-making process for sports teams, sportsbooks, and sports fans.

We are proud to have been leaders in collecting, analyzing and distributing the deepest data sets and insights to professional sports teams across the MLB, NBA and NFL.

In the beginning, John Dewan set out to change the way baseball was played, by taking on Project Scoresheet alongside Bill James, bringing about a new wave of baseball statistics that have become common in today’s vernacular. That deep passion and understanding of sports and data has remained central to the core at SIS, as our organization has evolved to include former professional and collegiate athletes, coaches, scouts alongside our best-in-class technology and research analysts. Simply put, we go deeper.

We are now doubling down on what’s made us successful by further advancing our data, technology, insights and partners as we drive forward the next innovations in Sports Data and Analytics.
