Hi, my name is John Strubel. I am a freelance sports journalist from Mount Pleasant, South Carolina.
This is my personal web site and portfolio. My writing is predominantly related to my greatest passion in life: baseball. I also include stories on sports personalities, sports media, social media, and related content that impact and influence the sports industry.
My goal is simple: to create insightful, relevant content that will inform and entertain. If you are a baseball fan—or as sports fan in general—then this blog is for you. I typically post three to five times a week. To make sure you don’t miss my newest posts, you can subscribe via RSS.
