This revised version is a significant improvement over the previous version and the reviewers have addressed my major concerns with the paper with one exception.
Suggested Changes:
[x] The authors have now made clearer the limitation in scope of this manuscript related to player evaluation. Perhaps, a statement regarding this can be added to the abstract.
[ ] I think that parts of the first paragraph of Section 5 regarding biometric data is a bit out of place. This could be moved to Section 7 (Opportunities). Likewise, Section 5 could be retitled something like‘Betting Data and Sports Analytics” or “Betting Data Analysis”.
Minor Changes:
[x] Page 1, line 47 “And, of course, in baseball” add commas before and after “of course”
[x] Page 2, line 5, “games share” instead of “game shares”
[ ] Page 8, Macdonald (2012?) used expected possession value for ice hockey to evaluate players.
[x] Section 6.1, line 53, Figure ??
[x] Section 6.1, line 56, contextual is used twice in that sentence, perhaps “helping the reader visualize” or “helping the reader understand”
[x] Table 3, the third column of this table is off by a line with the entries in the first two columns.
[x] Section 6.2, line 52, Figure 6 should be Figure 7; likewise the figure number in the next sentence
[x] Figure 6, in my version the images are stacked rather than left/right
[x] Section 6.2, line 46 This sentence that starts “Consider, for example, “ seems out of place with the rest of the tone of this article
[x] Section 7, line 7 or 8, it might be worth mentioning the growth of small conferences like UCSAS that have sprung up, something like “As the field of sports analytics has grown, there has been a proliferation of sports specific and regional sports analytics conferences.”
