About Ridgeline

I started Ridgeline Baseball Analytics with one goal in mind: to give others the skills and game plan I wish I had when I first tried to break into professional baseball. After a collegiate playing career that included four arm surgeries, I moved into scouting and player development, shadowing a New York Yankees area scout and helping run day-to-day operations for the Santa Barbara Foresters.

Along the way, I realized that if I wanted to make a real impact in baseball, I needed to sharpen my analytical skill set. I began learning R and quickly expanded into SQL, Python and R Shiny app development. Those tools became the foundation of my work as the data analytics manager at Santa Barbara City College and in the High Performance Department at Driveline Baseball, where I used data to support player development, research and strategy. Today I work in player development analytics for an MLB organization.

Ridgeline was born out of that journey, not just to consult, but to help others gain the same tools that opened doors for me. Whether you're looking to build your own R Shiny project or make the leap into pro ball, I'm here to help you get there, with clarity, purpose and real-world skills that set you apart.
