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.

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.

Position overview
SIS is looking for highly motivated individuals with a desire to work in the baseball industry. Video scouts will have a chance to make an immediate impression on the company. Each video scout will be collecting data that is directly used by SIS clients (including major league teams) for advance scouting and evaluation purposes. Not only will the video 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 video 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 video scouts each year routinely land team internships and/or full-time jobs. Three former video scouts won the 2020 World Series with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

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 video scouts who have branched out into a variety of areas in the sports industry.

Job responsibilities
Includes (but is not limited to):

  • Score and pitch chart MLB, MiLB and amateur games using specialized computer software
  • Check the accuracy and validity of data
  • Prepare and analyze statistical data for delivery to customers
  • Assist with the production of the 2023 Bill James Handbook
  • Provide administrative support to the full-time staff

Time frame
SIS offers two unique start dates for this position:

  • The first begins February 7th, 2022. It will last for a period of four to five months into early June, with the possibility of extending further based on company workload and the video scout’s performance.
  • The second begins on March 7th, 2022. This will last five to six months into middle September, again with a possibility of extending longer.

Compensation

  • A starting rate of $12 per hour and college course credit will be offered for those interested.
  • Each video scout will also be eligible for regular raises based on performance.
  • There will also be opportunities to sign up to work overtime to earn extra income (opportunities will depend on work levels throughout the year)
