Mike Podhorzer began playing fantasy baseball in the late 1990s when the salary cap challenge style games helped unleash his inner nerd. Soon after, he joined his first in-person rotisserie auction league and then started his own that he still acts as commissioner of to this day. Mike began his fantasy baseball writing career with the now-defunct Fantasy Baseball Generals and then later joined Fantasy Pros 911. In 2011, he landed a gig at FanGraphs where he takes stats geekdom to an entirely new level. In 2012, he enjoyed his first taste of true expert league competition as a participant in the inaugural LABR mixed league and is partaking once again in 2013.
In March 2013, Mike published Projecting X: How to Forecast Baseball Player Performance, an eBook that explains the process of projecting baseball player performance and developing an Excel spreadsheet to perform the calculations. Aside from his ability to string letters together to form words and coherent sentences, Mike also produces player projections using his own forecasting system and could be heard live every Wednesday evening at 9 PM EST on the Fantasy Baseball Roundtable radio show.
