Explanation:

In the context of the passage, "data" refers to information. The passage mentions looking at Major League Baseball data to see that people today are taller. This implies that the data is some form of information (like statistics on player heights over time) that supports the claim. "Games" (refers to the actual baseball matches), "coaches" (people who train players), and "technology" (tools and techniques) do not fit the context as well as "information" does.
