Lance Brozdowski, a producer, editor and on‑air analyst at Marquee Sports Network, has turned his passion for pitching into a subscription‑based newsletter called Lance’s Pitcher Notes. The project began as a Twitter thread in 2023 and later migrated to Substack, where it now serves a curated audience of baseball enthusiasts.
The newsletter delivers day‑by‑day evaluations of pitcher performance, employing proprietary tools to dissect velocity, spin rate and command. Its blend of technical depth and accessible storytelling has earned more than 1,300 paying subscribers, a figure that reflects a dedicated community of die‑hard fans, fantasy baseball participants and even coaches seeking an external perspective.
A data‑driven approach that resonates beyond the dugout
Brozdowski’s academic background includes a graduate degree from Northwestern University’s sports media program, completed in 2019, where he specialized in the intersection of analytics and narrative storytelling. His work at Marquee Sports Network blends on‑air analysis with the granular insights he curates for his subscribers.
Encouraged by the newsletter’s reception, he is exploring new formats, including long‑form educational videos on YouTube, where his channel has amassed 26,000 subscribers, and plans to integrate social‑media clips that tease each deep‑dive analysis. The move aims to broaden his audience while maintaining the precision that has made his notes a reference point for front offices across the league.
The expansion reflects a broader trend among independent sports writers who leverage niche expertise to build sustainable revenue streams. For Brozdowski, the next phase is not just about more content but about creating a cohesive ecosystem that can serve both enthusiasts and professionals seeking an outsider’s yet data‑rich view of the game.
