I've been contributing to RotoBaller since January 2024 producing fantasy content for NFL, MLB, and NHL. I am also a member of the operations and staff and the editing team. I have been playing fantasy sports for nearly my entire life and believe in the importance of data analysis leading you to victory. I began my sports writing career with my university newspaper and was eventually promoted to sports editor and was nominated for several awards such as Best Editorial piece by the Press Club of Long Island. In my content, I emphasize data and historical trends as it is the key to finding the edge in our competitions. By analyzing the data given to us, we can make informed decisions and in turn, become sharper fantasy players. I am also an accredited member of the FSWA.

Hunter Barco on the Outside of Projected Starting Rotation?

Pittsburgh Pirates left-handed pitching prospect Hunter Barco appears to be on the outside of the team's initial five-man starting rotation. The southpaw is expected to be in the mix for the final rotation spot but appears to be trending toward opening the season as a reliever or back at Triple-A. With Paul Skenes, Bubba Chandler, […]


Jarlin Susana a Name to Watch in Nationals Camp

Washington Nationals right-handed pitching prospect Jarlin Susana is a name to watch during spring training. Susana is currently viewed as the team's No. 4 prospect and the overall No. 87 prospect on MLB.com. Susana spent most of his 2025 season with Double-A before being shut down with a lat injury. He began the campaign with […]


Arjun Nimmala Adds Weight Ahead of Spring Training

Toronto Blue Jays infield prospect Arjun Nimmala added 15 pounds ahead of the start of camp, according to Mitch Bannon of The Athletic. The young infielder reportedly lost significant weight over the 2025 MiLB season, which contributed to his power slump in the second half. Last summer, Nimmala held a promising .840 OPS in the […]


Jacob Reimer Focusing on Defense at Third Base

New York Mets infield prospect Jacob Reimer focused on his defensive skills at third base during the offseason, according to Tim Britton of The Athletic. Reimer has spent time at several positions in the infield throughout his minor league career, but emphasized the hot corner heading into 2026 spring training. Reimer joined the Mets in […]


Ryan Clifford Making Strides as a Defender

New York Mets first base/outfield prospect Ryan Clifford has continued to improve as a defender in the outfield. Clifford has spent most of his time in the minor leagues as a first baseman but has been shifted to the outfield to provide more versatility ahead of his eventual MLB debut. Last summer, Clifford spent most […]

The #1 Overall Tight End for 2026 Fantasy Football - Six Candidates for TE1

The tight end position is often the most divisive among the fantasy football community. Some believe in the "early-round tight end" and have selected Travis Kelce near the 1-2 turn for the better part of the past half-decade. Others wait until the double-digit rounds and hope to strike gold with a high-floor veteran, or to […]


Jett Williams Facing Uphill Battle to Earn Starting Job?

Milwaukee Brewers infield prospect Jett Williams is trending towards beginning the 2026 season at Triple-A. While Williams appeared in a good position to crack the Opening Day roster following the trade that sent Caleb Durbin to Boston, the Brewers quickly signed veteran infielder Luis Rengifo, who is now penciled in to be their primary third […]


Robby Snelling Not a Lock to Make Opening Day Rotation?

Miami Marlins left-handed pitching prospect Robby Snelling may not be a lock to make the Opening Day rotation. Earlier in camp, the Marlins announced that veteran Chris Paddack would be joining the rotation, which gives Snelling one fewer starting position. Additionally, Max Meyer and Braxton Garrett are both fully healthy in the early stages of […]


Andrew Painter in Strong Contention for Rotation Spot

Philadelphia Phillies right-handed pitching prospect Andrew Painter is in serious consideration for one of the final spots in the Phillies starting rotation. With Zack Wheeler (elbow) on the shelf to open the season, the team's top pitching prospect appears to be in serious consideration for one of the final spots. However, given his struggles last […]


Walker Jenkins a Name to Closely Watch in Spring Training

Minnesota Twins outfield prospect Walker Jenkins is a name to closely monitor in spring training as he could compete for an early MLB debut. The 20-year-old is currently viewed as MLB.com's No. 10-ranked prospect and Minnesota's No. 1 prospect. Last summer, Jenkins began the campaign with Double-A but was able to reach Triple-A, where he […]


Jhostynxon Garcia Flashing Upside With Glove

Pittsburgh Pirates outfield prospect Jhostynxon Garcia has looked impressive on the defensive side of the ball during the early stages of camp. According to Pirates manager Don Kelly, the young outfielder has held his own in the outfield when fielding flyballs. Kelly noted that Garcia's impact and ceiling" is "really high." The Pirates acquired Garcia […]


Ricky Tiedemann Could See Time as Reliever in 2026?

Toronto Blue Jays left-handed prospect Ricky Tiedemann could be deployed in a relief role this season, according to Keegan Matheson of MLB.com. The young lefty is currently working his way back from Tommy John surgery and has looked quite impressive in the early stages of camp. According to Matheson, while Tiedemann has "all the time […]

Dynasty Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers From the NFL Playoffs

With the NFL Playoffs officially in the books and the Lombardi Trophy heading to Seattle, dynasty managers can begin to turn their focus to the upcoming rookie class.

NHL Trade Deadline Predictions: Most-Likely Players to be Traded

While the NHL season is currently on pause due to the 2026 Milan Winter Olympic Games, the trade deadline is right around the corner and will be a major talking point once the league resumes. In fact, the trade deadline is March 6, just nearly a week after the regular season picks back up on […]


CJ Kayfus to Have Prominent Role in Cleveland Lineup?

Cleveland Guardians first base/outfield prospect CJ Kayfus should compete to earn a near-everyday role in the Cleveland starting lineup during spring training. The Guardians promoted Kayfus to the major leagues last season, but he did not find immediate success. Across his first 44 games in the big leagues, Kayfus held a .220/.292/.415 slash line with […]


JR Ritchie Drawing "Excitement" in Camp, Making Case to Earn Starting Role

Atlanta Braves starting pitching prospect JR Ritchie is drawing "excitement" in the early stages of camp and continues to make a strong case to begin the season in the MLB rotation. Ritchie is currently ranked as the team's No. 2 prospect on MLB.com and the sport's overall No. 86 prospect. Last summer, the 22-year-old opened […]


Payton Tolle Looks to Strengthen Secondary Pitches

Boston Red Sox left-handed pitching prospect Payton Tolle plans to mix in his secondary pitches more often to further improve his fastball. According to reports by Christopher Smith of MassLive.com, Tolle's fastball appears two miles per hour faster to hitters than it actually appears. The four-seamer sat at 96.7 mph but generated a much higher […]


Moises Ballesteros May Not Make Camp Debut Until Next Weekend

According to Maddie Lee of The Sun Times, Chicago Cubs catching prospect Moises Ballesteros may not make it to camp until next weekend due to visa issues. Ballesteros and fellow backstop Christian Bethancourt continue to have their camp pushed back, but appear to be making some progress and could reach the United States by the […]


Ryan Sloan Looking Sharp Following Return from Injury

Seattle Mariners right-handed pitching prospect Ryan Sloan (eye) looked sharp in his first bullpen session of spring training. The team's former second-round selection for the 2024 MLB Draft missed the final month of the 2025 campaign due to an eye procedure but appears to be rounding back into form. Sloan was seen reaching 99 MPH […]


Kade Anderson Impressing Early in Camp

Seattle Mariners left-handed pitching prospect Kade Anderson has looked impressive in the early days of camp, according to Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times. According to Divish, the former LSU standout struck out several of Seattle's top hitters in live batting practice over the weekend and did not look overmatched. The team's president of baseball […]

The #1 Overall Wide Receiver for 2026 Fantasy Football - Six Candidates for WR1

With the 2025 NFL season officially in the books with the conclusion of Super Bowl LX, it's time to put our eyes toward 2026. This season, the wide receiver position was not as consistent as it has been in years past, but it still featured some of the league's top assets. The overall WR1 in […]

Infield Fantasy Baseball Breakout Candidates: High-Upside Draft Targets for 2026

In the back half of your draft, it is crucial to target players that not only have a safe floor but also possess the upside to become league-winning assets. Last season, managers who took the late-round flier on Nico Hoerner, Jacob Wilson, and Jeremy Pena were rewarded with the breakout campaigns. In this piece, we […]


Owen Caissie in Position to Claim Everyday Role?

Miami Marlins outfield prospect Owen Caissie appears to be in a great position to claim a lead role in the Miami offense out of spring training. Caissie was the headliner piece in the trade that sent right-hander Edward Cabrera to the North Side of Chicago earlier this winter. Caissie is now viewed as Miami's No. […]


Dylan Beavers a Name to Watch in Spring Training

Baltimore Orioles outfield prospect Dylan Beavers is a name to closely monitor in spring training. Beavers reached Baltimore last summer and posted a modest .237/.375/.400 line over his brief 35-game stint. During this stretch, the California product hit four home runs and swiped two bases. In the minor leagues, Beavers showed five-category upside, which makes […]


Ryan Waldschmidt has Easier Path to Make Opening Day Roster?

Arizona Diamondbacks top outfield prospect Ryan Waldschmidt could have an easier path to crack the Opening Day roster following the injury to Corbin Carroll (hand). With the team's top outfielder on the shelf with a fractured hamate bone and in serious danger of missing the start of the season, Waldschmidt could emerge as a top […]


Carter Jensen a Prime Breakout Candidate in 2026

Kansas City Royals catching prospect Carter Jensen is a top breakout candidate heading into the 2026 regular season. Jensen made his MLB debut later in the second half last summer and immediately flashed upside. Through his first 20 MLB games, the former third-round selection posted a .300/.391/.550 slash line with three long balls. Under the […]


JR Ritchie Could Compete for Starting Role in Atlanta Rotation?

Atlanta Braves right-handed pitching prospect JR Ritchie is a name to closely monitor during spring training, as he could break camp with the MLB roster following the injury to Spencer Schwellenbach (elbow). With Schwellenbach on the 60-day IL with an elbow injury, Ritchie could make a strong push to open camp in the starting rotation. […]
