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.

During this stint, the […]

New York Mets right-handed pitching prospect Jonah Tong is a name to closely monitor in spring training.

Jac Caglianone to See Everyday Role in 2026?

Kansas City Royals first baseman/outfielder Jac Caglianone appears ticketed to see a near-everyday role at the start of the 2026 campaign.

Sal Stewart to See Time at First Base in Camp

Cincinnati Reds prospect Sal Stewart is expected to earn opportunities at first base during camp.
