Baseball Writing

A collection of my baseball-related work

 

Overview

I am a Senior Journalist covering the Yankees, Mets, and other national baseball stories for the New York Daily News. I have been an avid sports fan for as long as I can remember, because I don’t have many hobbies. When I’m not numbing my brain while watching a game, I also like keeping up with music and whatever pop culture nonsense is happening. During college I maintained a personal blog before joining the staff at Lookout Landing in March 2018, the Short Relief crew at Baseball Prospectus in October 2019, and FanGraphs in April 2021. The Daily News came calling in May 2021, and the rest is history.
