Hello

My name is Rob Neyer, and I’ve been writing about sports for nearly 35 years. From 1996 through 2010, I wrote more words for ESPN than anyone (while also publishing six books about baseball). Since then, I’ve been a columnist, blogger, and podcaster at Vox Media and Fox Sports, and written freelance stories for Yahoo Sports, FiveThirtyEight, and (especially) The New York Times. In 2018, my seventh book – Powerball: Anatomy of a Modern Baseball Game – was named winner of the prestigious CASEY Award, given annually to the year’s best baseball book. In 2022, I collaborated with longtime Major League Baseball umpire Dale Scott on his lauded autobiography, The Umpire is Out: Calling the Game and Living My True Self, which the Times described as “rollicking.” When not working on various writing projects, I host SABR’s weekly podcast and serve as Commissioner of the premier summer collegiate baseball league in western North America.
