Abstract
This study investigates whether journalists have adopted sabermetrics, the use of advanced baseball statistics for making player projections and objectively measuring player performance, in their reporting of Major League Baseball stories since the print and theatrical release of Moneyball. Findings suggest that traditional baseball statistics still dominate baseball news reporting but the use of sabermetrics has significantly increased after Moneyball was published.
