Mike Carter

130 articles

Mike has followed baseball for more than 40 years. He started playing fantasy baseball while still in high school with friends. Mike started writing about fantasy baseball in 2020 during Covid when he had his first real free time in 25 years. He loves to write about the intricacies of bullpens and the gems you can find on the waiver wire to replace injured or ineffective players. You can find him on Twitter/X at arguably the worst handle of all time, @mdrc0508. He is a lifelong, long-suffering White Sox fan. By day, Mike is the principal of a therapeutic day school. His two most important contributions to the world are his kids, Ellie and Jack. Mike coaches the local freshmen on the baseball diamond each spring. Much of his life energy is consumed by baseball. Mike also works at Fantrax and cohosts a weekly podcast, The Fantasy Baseball Beat, with Chris Torres and Dave Funnell, which was nominated for an FSWA award for best podcast in 2024.
