Journalism
These are some of the highlighted published articles that I have written through both of my baseball media jobs. These works highlight my ability to statistically and qualitatively research and develop ideas and analyses on various topics within the baseball community.
Topics vary from individual player breakdowns to predictive pieces for upcoming times in baseball and even creative pieces about baseball culture.
​
I have published over 50 articles on two different websites over the past year of work. My ability to dive into baseball teams and players has grown with time and will continue to do as I progress in my journey to become a professional in the baseball industry in the future.

Furthermore, it examines how he's been able to succeed showcasing his statistical improvement and the steps he can take in order to reach an even higher level of pitching.
I was in charge of updating and managing Just Baseball's Free Agency Tracker which followed every signing of the offseason and provided updated information. This article was updated most days throughout the month of December with contract data for every free agent deal and detailed analysis for the bigger signings of the winter.
This was the first part of a four-part series I created and wrote during the offseason that highlighted underrated players of all different categories. This piece focused on younger hitters that showed promise during the 2022 season and were poised to take another step in 2023. The article analyzed the advanced metrics of these players and how their statistics had improved from previous years. Multiple players from this breakdown are now expected to be All-Stars this year.
I was able to work as media during Cactus League Spring Training in March of 2023. During this time, I watched practices, games, and media sessions while taking notes and videos of such experiences. I was even fortunate enough to interview numerous players from the Dodgers and White Sox organizations. This article details the conversations I had in the Dodgers locker room with various players and the head coach press conference. It also provides insight on the given player's future.
I was one of the lead writers on the international baseball tournament that occurred in March of 2023.

This article ranked the rosters of all 20 teams that competed in the event. I also wrote six of the in-depth breakdowns on each team's tournament roster which are all linked in this main power rankings article.
