Matthew Collier - RotoBaller

46 articles

Matt Collier first played fantasy baseball in a 1990 American League West college friends league framed around Peter Golenbock's "How to Win at Rotisserie Baseball". Within a year as a fantasy sophomore and college junior he won a regional American League adults league and actual money. He continued to play regional leagues and national service contests for a few years before retiring to pursue a full-time career as a research scientitst and developer of arthritic hip and knee replacements. In the early 2010s, Matt gradually returned focus to baseball as a player analyst rather than fantasy player and soon developed the FaBIO (Fielding- and Ballpark-Independent Outcomes) pitcher evaluation system, which as of 2025 is applied to MLB, all affiliated MiLB leagues, NCAA D1 and D2, and select collegiate summer leagues. A companion model that evaluates batters has been developed and used since the truncated/lost 2020 season. As a player analysis expert Matt now uses the output from these pro and amateur evaluation models to advise a mix of agents, baseball players, coaches, and other organization or program staff besides fantasy baseball players.
