- 棒球
This episode of Hit Chat Chit Chat, Conner Reynolds Driveline_RBI and Victor Martinez @HaltoHell, an
18-year-old high school senior who runs a popular baseball analytics Twitter account. Victor started the account in early 2022 and has gained a significant following, especially among Yankees fans, for his data-driven tweets and analysis. Victor's interest in baseball analytics stems from his love for math and numbers. He discovered sites like Fangraphs and Baseball Savant, which opened up a "Pandora's box" of data for him to explore. Despite jokes about "stat nerds," Victor finds the information fascinating and believes more people
should pay attention to it.
To create his content, Victor manually searches Fangraphs leaderboards and Baseball Savant, exports
the data to Google Sheets, and then crafts his tweets. He also uses MLB Video Vault and Baseball
Savant for video clips. This year, he's focusing on being more professional and stat-heavy in his
tweets as he pursues his goal of working in the baseball industry. Victor plans to attend college next year, majoring in journalism and minoring in statistics. He hopes
to land an internship in the sports field and eventually become a writer. He acknowledges the
competitive nature of the industry but is excited for the future. Some of Victor's most popular tweets include a recent one about Stuff Plus that gained him many new
followers, and a controversial tweet about Bo Jackson that garnered 20,000 likes despite some
backlash. Last year, he wrote three articles, including one about Yankees minor league pitcher Will
Warren. This year, Victor wants to expand his horizons beyond just Yankees content, covering the entirety of
MLB. He's considering starting his own podcast, doing more guest appearances, and creating more
video content. SPEAKER_01 invites him to come on his show anytime to discuss exciting hitters or
disappointing performers.
