Throughout his writing career, Matt has contributed to Bleacher Report, Yahoo Sports, numberFire.com, and a number of other online publications. A member of the Internet Baseball Writers Association of America (IBWAA), Matt lives, eats, and breathes baseball, even receiving bachelor's and master's degrees in Sport Management. When he's not watching games, he's poring through MLB newsletters, digging deep into the sport's bottomless historical archives, and hoping the Mets finally end a title drought that stretches back to 1986.
