Early Life

Billy Beane was born in Orlando, Florida, on March 29, 1962. Billy was raised in Mayport, Florida, and in San Diego, California. He was a member of a military family. His father was a Naval Officer, and he taught him how to pitch. Billy attended San Diego high school, where he was a star athlete on the basketball, football, and baseball teams. In his senior years, he shifted more to baseball. After completing his high school education, Billy Beane attracted a lot of attention from the Scouts.

Career

Beane started his playing career with the “Mets” as well as received a US$ 125,000 signing bonus. While he intended to attend Stanford, Billy said he chose to play baseball professionally over attending Stanford. Beane started to fall apart as he was placed in lower leagues to show his potential. He saw his average batting drop but still earned a promotion to MLB in 1984. After playing several professional games, Beane was traded from the “Mets” to “The Minnesota Twins”. Billy’s performance was again poor, and he was traded to “The Detroit Tigers” in 1998. Beane signed with the “Oakland Athletics” after playing six games for them. Beane was sent to the minor leagues after the 1990 season. Billy Beane was fed up with all the disappointments that he had endured and decided to become a Scout instead.

From 1990 to 1993, Beane worked with the “Athletics” as an advance scout. He was later elevated to Assistant General Manager, where he mostly focused on player scouting for the minor leagues. The “Athletics” new owners demanded Beane to make expense reductions whenever possible when Jr. Walter A. Haas, the team’s previous owner, passed away in 1995. At this point, Billy Beane and Sandy Alderson began to use the now-famous Sabermetric system to assess undervalued players. The “Athletics” excelled despite operating on a tight budget. The “Athletics” had one of the lowest salaries in the league but ranked among the top five in overall rankings. Billy assumed the role of General Manager (GM) in 1997.

They also reached the playoffs regularly and made history in 2002 by winning 20 consecutive games. Beane refused a lucrative offer by the “Boston Red Sox” that year and remained loyal to the “Athletics”. The new owner made Beane a part-owner. Over the next few decades, many other baseball teams began to use sabermetrics. Beane was named vice president of baseball operations in 2015.

After the “Athletics” owners bought a stake in “San Jose Earthquakes”, Billy started to apply his analytical skills to soccer players. Beane has connected with many of the top managers in English football throughout his career.  He became an adviser of AZ Alkmaar for general director Robert Eenhoorn in 2015. He joined a consortium that purchased Barnsley, an English soccer team. Beane is also a director of “NetSuite”, a company that makes software. Billy also worked as a consultant developing “MLB Front Office Manager,” a videogame.
