All right, we are talking with pitcherless manager and writer Mack Heckman today.

Matt, welcome to the show. How are you

doing? And could you introduce yourself to our listeners? What do you do at PL and maybe a bit of your

history with fantasy baseball? Yeah, for sure. Thanks for having me on today. So I've been playing

fantasy baseball for a while now. I'm about to turn 25. So I mean, I started probably back when a freshman year of high

school, I want to say. So it's been a long time. I really started to get into the writing end of it

at the beginning of, end of 2021, beginning of 2022. I started with a lesser known group prospects worldwide. They kind of

awesome guys over there that they focus more on the lower level, less fantasy baseball, more

just baseball in general prospects, that kind of thing. Join fan tract as a staff writer worked

with Chris Clegg, Eric Cross, when both of them were

with fan tracks. And then when Chris briefly came over to pitcher lists, he actually asked

if I wanted to join the dynasty team. So I joined then. Chris had to step away. And now I'm

actually managing the dynasty team. I'm a Philadelphia Phillies fan, so knock on wood, things are going pretty well there right now.

It's been an exciting time.

It was a lot of fun.

That's what I first got into baseball when they were really, really good.
