4. Custom player page dashboards! Choose the player cards you want, in the order you want them.
5. One-click data exports! Export our projections and leaderboards for your personal projects.
6. Remove the photos on the home page! (Honestly, this doesn't sound so great to us, but some people wanted it, and we like to give our Members what they want.)
7. Even more Steamer projections! We have handedness, percentile, and context neutral projections available for Members only.
8. Get FanGraphs Walk-Off, a customized year end review! Find out exactly how you used FanGraphs this year, and how that compares to other Members. Don't be a victim of FOMO.

We hope you'll consider a Membership today, for yourself or as a gift! And we realize this has been an awfully long sales pitch, so we've also removed all the other ads in this article. We didn't want to overdo it.

  • Provide administrative support to the full-time staff

Qualifications:

  • Demonstrated knowledge of baseball and baseball scorekeeping
  • Ability to identify and differentiate between pitch types
  • Computer proficiency and the ability to quickly learn new software
  • High school or college baseball playing experience is preferred but not necessary
  • Must be able to work nights and weekends
  • Enrolled or recently graduated from an accredited college or university

Internship Timeframe:The internship will begin on March 20th and conclude at the end of the regular season (September 30th), with a possibility of extending through the middle of October.

Compensation:An hourly rate of $7.25 and/or college course credit will be offered to each intern

Anyone interested in the internship should send a cover letter and resume to Dan Casey atdan@baseballinfosolutions.com. No phone calls please.

Dang.. I was really liking the idea of the second posting until I saw $7.25 an hour. I think I’ll just work at Taco Bell for $8 an hour.
