Wanted
Baseball Analyst
Do you have an infinity
for baseball statistical analysis and want to display your knowledge to
thousands of readers within the Baseball community? If you have a solid
understanding of advanced baseball statistics and have good written
skills, consider joining our analytical group. We’re looking for 1 or 2
individuals to join our team.
As one of the leading
Fantasy Sports sites, we are currently looking for analysts to join our
daily lineup this Baseball season. If you are interested please read through
the basic requirements requested:
1. Extensive Baseball
knowledge with ability to understand Sabermetric analysis
2. Excellent written
communication skills and the ability to communicate in an interesting tone
(we don’t want to put our readers to sleep).
3. Ability to base
written communications with heavy statistical references.
4. Ability to spot player
trends, have an understanding of our
player charts
and/or sabermetrics data available on other sites such as
www.fangraphs.com
5. Ability to report on
daily happenings relating to MLB players 1 or 2 evening a week,
with solid fantasy advice.
The selected writer will
start contributing one day or two days a week during the season with 15-20
player blurbs on his/her selected day. The reports are due by midnight 12:00
AM EST.
We already have a service that provides us with player news, we are looking
for an individual to go beyond what you might read in a newspaper, and base
their thoughts on statistical indicators.
An example or a player
blurb would be as follows:
Chris Capuano (SP-NYM) Capuano
did not earn a decision on Thursday against the Cardinals. He allowed 4 runs
on 8 hits, 2 home runs and 2 walks while striking out 4 in 4.2 innings of
work. His ERA increased to 4.55, but an xFIP of 3.73 suggests that Capuano
might be a nice pickup next season. He posted an above average strikeout
rate of 7.95 K/9, and has a swinging strike rate of 10.7 percent. This
season he has been hurt mostly by a BABIP of .313 despite having a line
drive of 17.3 percent. In fact most of his hits allowed yesterday were on
ground balls. However, if he does not stay with the Mets next season, his
overall value will decrease. He came into the game with a 3.16 FIP at home
and a 4.77 FIP on the road, and he has given up 17 of his 25 home runs on
the road.
Our founder, a statistician will personally work with you and provide you
with the necessary resources and structure.
Perks/Compensation:
1. You will not be
quitting your day job! However this is an excellent way to make a few extra
bucks doing something that you enjoy. We are not looking for someone that’s
more interested in the extra cash, but rather someone who really enjoys to
write about Baseball and doesn’t mind receiving some compensation in return.
2. Exposure and
recognition from an existing subscriber base and tens of thousands of
interested
newsletter readers from across the country. This includes executives
from several major league teams and major media outlets.
If interested please
reply by email to staff@fantistics.com
, with a bio of yourself which includes your fantasy experience and a sample
write-up (10 paragraphs on 10 players) with heavy references to statistical
performance.
