CHICAGO: When a baseball announcer rattles off your favourite player's batting average with two outs and runners on first and third, he's not pulling that figure from the back of his mind. There's a good chance that timely information was provided by Stats, a Chicago-based sports data and technology company.
Stats, which gathers data from sporting events around the world for more than 650 customers, says it has inked five deals this year worth a total of more than US$70mil (RM272.46mil). The most recent deal, a US$10mil (RM38.92mil) agreement announced last week, extended and expanded a relationship with a global broadcast and telecommunications conglomerate.
