Ellie Grueskin '18

On Nov. 29, Ellie Grueskin ’18 returned to the Hilltop to share her experience as a baseball operations analyst for the San Francisco Giants.

She spoke with ninth and eleventh grade students during a Community Time talk (click here to read her full remarks) about how she uses statistics to help coaches and front office personnel make decisions related to game strategy, defensive positioning and baserunning. She also traced her career path with the Giants and previously as an analytics intern with the Boston Red Sox back to her time in Keshena Richardson’s Calculus Based AP Statistics class and her Senior Project hosted by a fellow Hackley alum, who is also a parent.

After a lunchtime conversation in the Lindsay Room with Jon Gruenberg’s statistics students, Ms. Grueskin stopped by Ms. Richardson’s class to share about her career and get into more of the nitty gritty statistics details of her work. She holds a bachelor’s degree in economics from Harvard University, where she wrote a senior thesis about the new MLB rule changes.
