ABOUT JEREMY FRANK: https://twitter.com/MLBRandomStats

In 2015, my freshman year of high school, I started the Twitter account @MLBRandomStats. In the years since, the account has grown in both followers and credibility within the baseball industry. I've been quoted by The New York Times, Washington Post, ESPN, MLB, CBS Sports, FOX Sports, several MLB broadcasts, and more.

Through interactions online, I began to understand how many other kids there were like me, just without the platform, so I founded Diamond-Digest.com in 2017. The site gives a platform to aspiring baseball journalists, graphic designers, and social media managers so they can gain experience and a well-deserved audience.

I've also authored a nonfiction book series, "Hidden Ball Trick: The Baseball Stats You Never Thought To Look For" (currently 2 of 3 are available), which takes a look back at the history of the game of baseball through a statistical lens. My success in the baseball industry through high school even warranted a news segment about me on CBS2-Chicago and an in-game interview on ESPN.

In the summer of 2021, I was a data intern for Sports Reference where I gained experience with all aspects of SQL.

I currently am a data science student at Purdue University with minors and mathematics and economics. I work part-time for Sports Reference as a researcher where I continue to use my skills in SQL.
