A Braves fan since he was six years old, Lee started his fandom by watching the entire division run. Living in WI, the day TBS dropped the Braves was a sad day in the household. He was a LHP at Winona State University, a D2 school in MN, where he majored in statistics. After his college career, he dove deeply into all areas of sabermetrics. Since learning the intricacies of WAR, wOBA, and FIP, writing has become an enjoyable activity. While he will fill your head with numbers and acronyms, he can also analyze mechanics and relate playing experience for a wealth of material.
