You may recognize Derek Carty from his role on Baseball Tonight, his articles at ESPN.com, or his occasional SportsCenter appearances. He's also been published by FOX Sports, Sports Illustrated, NBC's Rotoworld, FanDuel, and Fantasy Insiders, among many others. He's a long-time DFS player and the creator of THE BAT and THE BLITZ, perhaps the most sophisticated DFS projection systems on the market. Prior to DFS, Derek honed his statistical chops as the Fantasy Manager of two of the biggest sabermetric outlets, Baseball Prospectus and The Hardball Times (now the nerdier branch of FanGraphs (yes, that's a thing!), and holds an elite track record in year-long expert leagues (six titles while finishing top-3 over 50% of the time). He'sÂs also the only active fantasy writer to have graduated from MLB's exclusive Scout School, which he blends with his statistical background to form a complete picture of a player.
A failed high school pitcher, Nick discovered that he has a higher aptitude for analyzing and writing about sports than he does playing them. To his friends, he is better known as "The Commish." When he's not organizing a fantasy league, placing a bet, or writing an article, he's probably nose-deep in a book--further illustrating the point that his niche in this world is as a nerd rather than an athlete.
