James has been a Rotoworld contributor since 2024 and fantasy baseball player since 2004, when he was eight years old. You may recognize him from the Mets’d Up podcast, Wind Up YouTube channel, or his self-named channel. He loves analyzing starting pitchers and hanging out in his favorite Brooklyn dive bars, but hates drafting relievers.
