Andy Andres, a biology professor at Boston University’s College of General Studies, is also a leading expert on sabermetrics, the science and art of baseball analytics. After teaching the course for many years as a lecturer for his alma mater, Tufts University, he worked with BU’s Digital Learning Initiative (predecessor of the Digital Education Incubator) to create a BU MOOC, a free course available through BU’s participation in the online educational consortium edX.
