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:

5. Ability to report on
daily happenings relating to MLB players 1 or 2 evening/ mornings a week,
with solid fantasy advice.
The selected writer will
start contributing one day or two days a week during the season with 20
player blurbs on his/her selected day. The reports are due by 9:00 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: Yankees OF Bobby Abreu's current homerun per
plate appearance rate of 6.3 is a bit of an exaggeration of his true skill
set. Abreu almost matched his peak season of 2001 last year when he hit 34
homeruns (4.3 HR/Plate appearance). At the current pace Abreu would hit 61
homeruns this year, which is not very likely. Additionally Abreu current
Walk Rate of 12% is 4 points below his 3 year average (16.1). An indication
that he’s being overly aggressive, meaning that opposing pitchers may come
around in future games and offer him less "hittable" pitches.
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.
