We’re two weeks into the new year at this point, and at Pinstripe Alley, we’re hoping to add some new writers for the 2026 season. We’ve had to bid farewell to a few folks since the end of the 2025 campaign, as they’ve moved on to bigger and better things, so the opportunity is ripe for you to throw your hat into the ring to join our crew! Would you like to cover the Yankees with us?
The new writers will be expected to complete at least 2-3 articles per week, depending on your agreed contract. These
posts can be analysis pieces and editorials, or game recaps when the Yankees are back in season. Anyone specializing in prospect coverage would be encouraged to apply as well. These are all paid, part-time positions with monthly stipends.
As we’ve stated in past listings, we echo FanGraphs editor Meg Rowley’s thoughts on the most important aspect of this search:
Prior writing experience is strongly preferred, though the bulk of that experience doesn’t necessarily have to be of the baseball variety. We know baseball analysis is more interesting and complete when diverse perspectives and voices are brought to bear on the questions and trends in today’s game, and encourage writers of all backgrounds and identities to apply.
Anyone and everyone who follows the application requirements is welcome to apply! We want to hear from you.
Application Details
For your writing sample, you can do both No. 1 AND No. 2 …
1. Submit a past example of your writing (not necessarily baseball-related) that you feel best represents your quality of work.
2. Pitch an original Yankees-related topic idea that you might write about at some point for an additional article when you’re on the writing staff.
… or you may do No. 3:
3. Pitch an original Yankees-related topic idea AND write about it in no fewer than 550 words.
Details to submit are below. As always, it’s a plus if you have any familiarity with the data provided by Baseball Reference, FanGraphs, Baseball Prospectus, and Baseball Savant (Statcast), though not all writing positions have to be focused on player analysis.
