We Play Baseball Jeopardy With Ben Clemens of FanGraphs

On this episode of The SIS Baseball Podcast, Mark Simon is joined by FanGraphs baseball writer Ben Clemens. Both Ben and Mark are big fans of the game show, Jeopardy, so they decided to have a little fun with the show concept.

Ben and Mark took 4 categories apiece from the Tuesday May 20, 2026 episode of the show, and came up with one baseball stats-related question and answer that fit the category. 

The categories were:

- What's Your Angle?

- Catch You Later, Homes

- A Game of Numbers

- There's A Word for That

- Science

- On Your Merry Way

- Country Facts

- One Historical Figure, Two Plays

It got a little silly, but we promise you'll learn something new from this.

Afterwards, Mark was joined by his colleague, SIS senior product manager Noah Gatsik, to talk about the Rays hot start and what Noah likes about the ABS system.
