I'm sure this won't be a viral post, but thought it was worth noting that Driveline BAseball acquired Motus Global.

Driveline is pretty popular and we know about it, but Motus Global was where Ben Hansen worked as VP of Biomechanics and Innovation. Ben Hansen was hired by the sox to be there Senior Biomechanical Engineer, as excellently detailed by @Y2Jimmy0 in the article below.

That hire was a bit under the radar, but I'm not sure it isn't as big a move forward for this organization as Driveline's Boddy moving to Cincinnati. It is excellent to have someone this familiar with the new tech and how to instruct with it in Hansen.

Massive kudos to Getz as well as KW and Hahn for finally putting pieces into place here. 

If you are into the player development news for the sox, this winter has been incredibly informative. There is also this great piece from Fegan:

If this team could even get in the same neighborhood as the Rays when it comes to scouting and player development I would be so happy. I would love to never have to see a sustained rebuild again.

Thanks. Love stuff like this . I've always said the INTL draft issues and scouting and development should've been addressed at the start of the rebuild , Talk of sustained success always rang hollow with me because of those issues.

This is great, thanks for this. Man I really love what the Sox have done this offseason. They really seem to be implementing quite a bit of the analytic side of things into the player development system. This is great. Here's hoping it pays off.
