Welcome to Diamond Daily

Hello, fellow Internet-haver. Welcome to Diamond Daily.

Maybe you’re wondering how you got here. Maybe not. But much like the words of a motivational poster hanging in a nepotism baby’s bedroom: it’s not just about the destination, it’s about the journey.

Your destination today is a new corner of the baseball writing space, on a journey that I plan to grow and develop, alongside yourself, over the next few years.

After several years spent focusing on NFL Draft analysis and being yelled at for the mortal sin of creating mock drafts, I’ve decided to hit the reset button and return to my one true writing passion: baseball.

My plan for this website is to provide the best analysis and evaluation of amateur and professional baseball talent that I possibly can - giving those who stumble upon my work everything from prospect rankings to statistical analysis to in-person scouting reports and more. I will be wrong plenty of times along the way but part of this process will hopefully lead to becoming a trustworthy food group in your infinitely-vast baseball information food pyramid. Is that still a thing? I should probably see my doctor more often.

There will always be plenty to cover and part of this is as much a learning process as any other we encounter in life.

Either way, I appreciate your readership and for joining me on this journey.

Yours in baseball,

Conor Dorney
