Snagging Sig

New Orioles GM Mike Elias brings Sig Mejdal to the Orioles.

New Baltimore Orioles general manager Mike Elias called upon a familiar face to help rebuild the club, hiring former NASA engineer Sig Mejdal from the Houston Astros to be assistant general manager for analytics.

Mejdal will report to Elias and will oversee all aspects of the club’s growing analytics effort and serve as an adviser to Elias, the Orioles said Wednesday. Mejdal had been a special assistant for process improvement to Houston GM Jeff Luhnow since October 2015.

The two worked together in St. Louis and Houston.

If Mejdal is successful in Baltimore, he may be the first front office analytics executive to go into the Hall of Fame.
