Writer and Southern California native. I'm an avid fantasy and DFS player across various sports, specializing in MLB. This includes qualifying for and competing in the DraftKings World Fantasy Baseball Championship in 2022. When I'm not consuming sports, I'm an active screenwriter with an MA degree in Screenwriting, a script consulting background, and an independent feature film on the way!

Austin Wells Heats Up With Two-Home Run Day

New York Yankees prospect Austin Wells went yard twice on Sunday, perhaps signaling a shift in momentum. The 24-year-old struggled at the plate following his promotion to Triple-A Scranton Wilkes-Barre in July, but a recent surge has improved his slash line to a .260/.351/.479 mark. Wells has hit safely in eight of his last 10 […]

Paul Skenes Throws Two Scoreless Frames In Second High-A Outing

Pittsburgh Pirates prospect Paul Skenes tossed two shutout innings, striking out a pair and allowing no walks or hits during his most recent appearance for High-A Bradenton. Skenes was the first overall pick in the 2023 draft and has been heralded as a generational talent. His 80-grade fastball touches triple-digits and is complemented by a […]


Noble Meyer Tosses Three Shutout Innings In Single-A Debut

Miami Marlins pitching prospect Noble Meyer threw three scoreless innings, striking out four during his first outing with Single-A Jupiter. The 18-year-old was selected 10th overall by the Marlins last month and has quickly ascended their prospect ranks.

Chicago White Sox pitching prospect Noah Schultz was placed on the seven-day injured list Sunday with a shoulder impingement. The injury is not considered severe, but the 20-year-old will be shut down for at least a few weeks.
