TurfNet RADIO

Frank Speaks with Dr. Evan Mascitti of Infinite Athlete about his career, MS and Ph.D. at Penn State University, that has led him to be one of the leading thinkers in the study of baseball “dirt”. His pathway had mentors from WI, his role as Manager of Grounds for the Pittsburgh Pirates, and all fostered a keen interest -- bordering on an obsession -- “with the dirt”. You are not going to believe how complex the “dirt” is. Evan’s current position with Infinite Athlete is responsible for testing NFL playing surfaces and provides some insight into the issues and balancing field safety and performance.
