Hey everyone,
As 2020 comes to a close, I wanted to do an end-of-the-year review, looking back on the progress I made as a budding baseball analyst.
Here's how my story has unfolded so far, through the articles I've written...
As 2020 comes to a close, I wanted to do an end-of-the-year review, looking back on the progress I made as a budding baseball analyst.
Here's how my story has unfolded so far, through the articles I've written...
This is where it all started: an article I wrote on my old blog. I recklessly tagged @AlexFast8, and to my surprise, he gave it a RT. I'll always be thankful for that.

A month later, @ProspectsWorldW gave me an opportunity to become their first KBO analyst. They do awesome work –– give them a follow.
For my debut piece, I wrote about newcomer Dixon Machado and how he's experienced regression: https://prospectsworldwide.com/2020/05/21/dixon-machado-has-come-back-down-to-earth/

I then joined @Prospects365 after a sudden DM from Ray. It's here that I really took off and matured as a writer, which resulted in my favorite article to this day: https://prospects365.com/2020/06/28/the-year-hyun-jin-ryu-was-felix-hernandez/
2020 was also my first year covering a MLB season, when ideas are relevant one day and irrelevant the next. I quickly learned how to turn in articles fast and keep them interesting. Here's an example: https://prospects365.com/2020/09/05/fernando-tatis-jr-is-unlocking-his-defensive-potential/
I also started a new personal blog to write about more esoteric baseball topics. I'm extremely proud of this niche, but entertaining article about a single bunt play: https://justinochoi.medium.com/the-reasoning-behind-austin-barnes-bunt-41b0461bd437
Lastly, I've been trying to incorporate new insights into my writing. I'm knee deep in modern pitch design these days, and it rubbed off on an article about Aaron Nola: https://prospects365.com/2020/12/08/aaron-nolas-sneaky-overhaul/
Despite times when I felt like I wasn't good or smart enough, I'm thankful to have met people who've been willing to support and help me grow.
There are so many, but I wanted to specially mention:
