Maybe I'm just extrapolating from my own experience and friends. I'm in my 40s so I grew up with the old school mentality, as did many of my baseball loving friends and acquaintances. And I'll be the first to tell you that my understanding of advanced analytics is a work in progress. I am learning (and want to learn) about what stats mean what, which are the most meaningful stats, and how to cite them properly. I have noticed that many of the people that I interact with have started quoting analytics and are also trying to get into that mindset. They were resistant for the longest time...and a lot of it was, 'baseball shouldn't be this complicated', 'I just want to watch the game and make decisions based on what I see', 'I want stats I can understand'...but they've come around and realize that these numbers aren't just made up, they're meant to augment the game and provide more context in what we're actually seeing on the field. Maybe I'm naively thinking that there are others that have made this determination as well.
