I am happy to announce that I’ll be joining Northwest Baseball Stats this summer as an intern. I will be helping with analytics and research projects focused on player evaluation, statistical trends, and building tools that provide more insight into baseball across the Pacific Northwest. As someone who has spent the past five years playing college baseball, I have always been fascinated by how much goes into winning beyond what people see on the field. From scouting reports and player development to pitch design and roster construction, I have really enjoyed learning how organizations use information to better understand the game and help players improve. I am very grateful to @RasmussenBase for the opportunity to contribute and continue learning. Looking forward to a great summer and excited to see where the experience takes me.

I am amazed by the sheer size of The Great Wall of China - stretching over 13,000 miles (21,196 km) and built across more than 2,000 years. I am grateful I had the opportunity to visit and experience a small section of it.
