About

Seven-year member of the Sultans of Stats (/r/SultansOfStats) Champion’s league and three-time winner (‘16, ‘18, ‘21). Overall champion (#1 on leaderboard) of 2014 /r/SultansOfStats league. Top-5 finish out of ~400 industry experts in the 2020 TGFBI. Beat FanGraphs’ writer Paul Sporer, who failed to make good on his bet, and thus will remain listed here for the sole purpose of shaming him. Sometimes fervent consumer of all things fantasy baseball. Architect of overly complicated Excel+Google spreadsheets. I solve big materials science and engineering challenges for my clients in my spare time between baseball. Hopefully I can provide some useful fantasy advice for you along the way!

To make the mascot drink of this site, similar to a Harvey Wallbanger you will combine 6 parts orange juice, 3 parts vodka, 1 part galliano poured over ice. Then chug the entire drink and smash the glass against the nearest wall. Bonus points if you call someone a clown and tear your UCL while doing it. Or get choked out by a friend/teammate. Do these references even track anymore? Do you all remember when Bryce crashed his entire body into an outfield wall for no apparent reason? Or when Papelbon committed a literal crime against him in the Nats dugout?

This site is home of Ryan Brock‘s Harper Wallbanger fantasy baseball blog, and formerly the Big Board fantasy baseball player value calculator!
