Steve Mann is Director of Player Evaluation at Hendricks Sports. He first joined the major league ranks when he was employed by the Houston Astros in 1979 and 1980 as a statistical analyst. His principal roles were to evaluate the performances of all major league players, to measure the effects of the Astrodome on Houston's hitters and pitchers, and to make projections as to how free agents of potential interest to the club would perform in the club's pitcher-friendly stadium.

After working for club management in salary arbitration with Tal Smith Enterprises from 1982 through 1986, Steve joined Hendricks Sports Management in representing players in 1988. He has been with the Hendricks ever since. In his 22 years as an arbitration advocate, he has played a substantial role in the design and delivery of 55 arbitration cases. He also assisted in the preparation and presentation of 74 damage claims and more than 20 appeals in the collusion damage claims process.

In 1989, Steve wrote The Baseball Superstats. Published by McGraw-Hill, the book is a technical guide to analyzing team and individual performance at the major league level.

Steve Mann earned a doctoral degree in educational philosophy at Temple University (1980) and served as an assistant director of undergraduate admissions at the University of Pennsylvania (1970-72).
