About

Baseball in the Margins is where I write about the parts of baseball that tend to sit just outside the main story.

I’m a lifelong fan and an experienced prospect analyst, with a particular interest in amateur baseball, player development, and the long, strange path between being noticed and actually making it. I’m also pursuing a business degree, which has made me increasingly curious about the decisions around the game: how organizations allocate resources, build systems, evaluate people, and decide what is worth pursuing.

That can mean a scouting report, a college program, a minor league player, or a draft class. It can also mean a conference move, a travel budget, a front-office hire, or the structure that makes a season possible in the first place. The Big West remains part of that world, but it is no longer the edge of the map.

This site is a place to follow those questions as closely as I can—from the backfields to the front office—and to keep learning about how baseball works.

Thanks for reading.
