It isn't just because he went to Princeton... but this entire story by Tim Kurkjian at ESPN shows that he is a very intelligent guy. Who happens to play professional baseball (even if it is only for the Pittsburgh Pirates).
Here's a sample:
Ohlendorf majored in Operations Research and Financial Engineering at Princeton, a major that combined mathematics, engineering and economics. His thesis was written on the June amateur draft, which will be held on Tuesday. Ohlendorf examined the top 100 picks from 1989 to 1993, tracked the progress of each player for a 12-year period, starting with the draft, to determine the value of the picks. Ohlendorf studied the investment (signing bonus) and the financial return from signing the player.
