About Me

My photo
I am a 2021 graduate from Saint Vincent College where I majored in Business Management and minored in Data Analytics, Marketing, and Economics. I was a 4-year member of the Varsity Baseball Team playing as a Pitcher and Infielder. I am currently working as a Risk Data Analyst for Alliant Insurance Services in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. My passion and long term goal has always been working professionally in baseball. I have a deep understanding of the game of baseball because of my time as a two-way player at the college level, my time as a Baseball Operations Intern with the Washington Wild Things in 2020, and my time as a Coach for the Guardian Angels 12U/15U Baseball Team stationed in Canonsburg, PA. I am confident in my current abilities but am open to listening to and learning alternative perspectives on different baseball and analytics topics. I have created this blog to help get my ideas out there and to help showcase my knowledge of professional baseball.
