Despite having a completely different course of study, I fell in love with baseball writing in 2019 when I started creating content for risingapple.com, since then I have written over 100 published articles and would love any opportunities in writing that may arise.
I am now writing for CallToThePen.com and formerly writing for EliteSportsNY.com, MetsmerizedOnline.com, and RisingApple.com.
Currently, I am an MPH student at George Washington University studying global health epidemiology. I graduated from the University of Rhode Island with a B.S. in health sciences. While I have a busy schedule with graduate school, I would love any opportunity to write or create any baseball-specific content. I have a specialty in analytical writing as I am very versed in Sabermetrics and I study statistics as a large component of my master's education.

Between his time on the Texas Rangers, and now the New York Yankees, Joey Gallo is one of Major League Baseball's most blatant examples of a three outcome player. Gallo has only broken above a .250 season batting average once in his career (in 2019) and strikes out and walks a ridiculous amount, having 111 walks and 213 strikeouts in 2021 (leading the league in Ks).
New York Yankees fans were hopeful in signing starting pitcher Yusei Kikuchi once the 30-year-old opted for free agency fresh off the Mariners. Yet, now that the lefty has signed a three-year, 36 million dollar contract with the Blue Jays, the Bronx Bombers need to look into other options to fill their rotation.
It's no secret that Major League Baseball fans have been unhappy with commissioner Rob Manfred for a considerable amount of time. From on-field changes such as the three batter minimum and extra-inning rules to the current lockout, players and fans alike have been critical, to say the least.
When it comes to starting pitching, 37-year-old ace Max Scherzer is at the top of the free-agent market. Scherzer spent 2021 split between the Washington Nationals and Los Angeles Dodgers, finishing out the season with a 2.46 ERA, 0.86 WHIP, and 2.97 FIP over 179 innings pitched.
When Major League Baseball announced the new foreign substance guidelines, I like many others thought it would be a good thing. However, with umpires checking pitchers right after they come off the mound and the antics that ensue because of it. It's ultimately just slowing down the game and making it not as enjoyable.
Despite his inability to hit proficiently above the AA level, Tim Tebow was committed to being an addition to the New York Mets organization. Now, three years later, the 2007 Heisman Trophy winner has announced his retirement from professional baseball. I never want to be partially in on anything.
It's no secret that baseball viewership has been declining rapidly over the past few years. Despite the efforts of commissioner Rob Manfred, the time of games hasn't changed much and blackout restrictions make it hard for even die-hard fans to watch games.
The world of baseball has been unraveling into chaos the past few weeks due to what is being called the worst cheating scandal in MLB history. The MLB head offices have been under fire because of their choices in how to penalize those involved.
Year after year the New York Mets franchise brings in a mix of promising new players and over the hill vets, promising that this is going to be our year. They start off hot in Spring Training going into the beginning of the season giving the fans a sense of ignorant bliss, that THIS will be our year.
