Hey I'm #43!
True, mine the data, find the ummph and the hurumph.. lots of stuff in there. Lots of noise too, that means that the real data that matters gets pushed up and someone acts on it. Meanwhile the spreadsheet headaches are great, as are the ideas the data gives the grunts.
Now if they can think outside of the box it is a good gig, otherwise headaches and dreams about pivot tables.

My brother is currently a real-live data scientist. He applied for this job when it was posted a couple of years ago. Despite (because?) having multiple advanced degrees in relevant fields and having *taught* some of this stuff at the college level the Reds didn't even reach out to him. So, based on my sample of n=1 and some strong priors (for you Bayesians) I think the idea that they are looking for a young (read 'inexpensive, willing to work crazy hours') analytics guy is probably correct.
That's every mlb club, some are just leaner than others.
And it's why I'm no longer working in the industry. 60 hours a week at what came out as minimum wage was fine for a few years, but it quickly dawned on me that I would have to make that sacrifice for much longer than I was willing to do so.

----And you had better believe it when I say this, there were a thousand college educated 25 year old's lining up to do just that when I left.

It's a good idea but how do you determine the best of the best? Especially if your search skews young. How is Data Scientist A better than Data Scientist B or C or D? Because one went to a prestigious university? If someone went to MIT are they better than someone who went to the University of Chicago or Georgia Tech?

Pick an industry... more so in creative and entertainment than otherwise... There's always people trying to get something for nothing or little to nothing. "It'll be GREAT exposure for you." "The experience is worth more than money!"
And I could never decide who made me throw up in my mouth more: The people saying that crap, or the people believing that crap.
Hopefully, the proverbial Jonah Hill's of the world tell teams like the Reds to pound sand. I know I would. You can make 40k a year loading trucks for Amazon. Barely a livable wage in 2019. Absolutely shameful, with the money the Reds take in each year, win or lose, mostly lose.

Heck, my job from age 21-25 was working dirt cheap for a prestigious research institute. The pay was crap, but I also didn’t need a lot of money them. And the experience was truly invaluable. But by the age of 25, I was done with that phase of my career and started wanting nicer things.
