InstaGraphs: Intentionally Walking Cal Raleigh

John E. Sokolowski-Imagn Images

In Game 7 of the ALCS on Monday night, John Schneider’s Blue Jays pulled off a dramatic comeback in the bottom of the seventh inning that sent them to their first World Series in 32 years. The heroics came courtesy of George Springer, who hit a go-ahead three-run home run. But first, Schneider himself made a big decision in the top of the inning. With two outs and no one on base, Cal Raleigh stepped up. Two innings earlier, he had smashed a solo shot to give Seattle a 3-1 lead. Schneider wasn’t interested in facing him; he put up four fingers and called for the intentional walk.

Intentionally walking someone with the bases empty is a statement of strong fact: We absolutely cannot allow this person to hit a home run. To be fair, that’s definitely how Schneider felt in that moment; a home run would have been backbreaking for his team’s chances. Raleigh hit 60 of them in the regular season, so he’s obviously a pretty reasonable guy to fear when you’re specifically afraid of homers. But Josh Naylor, due up next, is a good hitter, too. And baserunners are bad in general. What did the math say about this move? Read the rest of this entry »


The 2026 Free Agent Tracker Is Here!

The 2026 Free Agent Tracker is now live! There are currently over 170 players on the list, and more will be added following the postseason as teams begin to clear space on their 40-man rosters and decisions are made about 2026 options. The Tracker will be updated regularly throughout the offseason as qualifying offers are made (and then accepted or rejected), and as free agents find their new homes.

You can filter by status (signed/unsigned), previous team, and signing team, and export the data for your own analysis. You can also sort by a player’s handedness, age, and 2025 WAR. Shortly after the postseason ends, projected 2026 WAR will be added to the Tracker, as will the results of our annual contract crowdsourcing project, which include median contract total, years, and average annual value estimates.

ORGANIZATION: Chicago Cubs
REPORTS TO: Assistant Director, Baseball Analytics / Director, Baseball Sciences
LOCATION(S): Chicago, IL / Mesa, AZ / Remote
FLSA STATUS: Exempt
COMPENSATION: $65,000 – $115,000 USD

BEING PART OF THE TEAM
Our business is a team sport that began on a field with baseballs and bats and has evolved into one of the most recognizable brands in sports and entertainment through Cubs baseball and live events. Our success is driven by our people, who work to create and inspire change in an engaging, collaborative and inclusive environment. As a team, we continue to build a culture on and off the field that delivers unforgettable experiences for one another, our fans and community. In support of that effort, we expect associates to work primarily in our office. Are you ready to be part of it?

OUR STORY
THE CHICAGO CUBS FRANCHISE The Chicago Cubs franchise, a charter member of Major League Baseball’s National League since 1876, has won the National League pennant 17 times and was the first team to win back-to-back World Series titles in the 1907 and 1908 seasons. In 2016, the Chicago Cubs made history again when the team won its first World Series in 108 years, ending the longest championship drought in North American sports. Known for its ivy-covered outfield walls, hand-operated scoreboard and famous Marquee, iconic Wrigley Field has been the home of the Chicago Cubs since 1916 and is the second oldest ballpark in Major League Baseball. In 2009, the Ricketts family assumed ownership of the Chicago Cubs and established three main goals for the organization: Win the World Series, Preserve and Improve Wrigley Field, and Be a Good Neighbor.

HOW YOU’LL CONTRIBUTE
The Chicago Cubs are seeking Data Scientists to join our Baseball Analytics and Baseball Sciences groups in the Baseball Operations’ Research and Development department.
