WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC 2023
​
Below is work from the 2023 World Baseball Classic. I also covered Team Australia for three weeks at the 2024 Premier12, with stories and recaps logged here: www.baseball.com.au/premier12

​
In February and March 2023, I travelled with Team Australia to provide coverage from training camp to tournament.
In a very intimate style of writing, we increased our following and captured the attention of fans on a global scale. We were nominated for an Australian Sports Media Award for our work.
I coordinated social media, wrote daily stories for baseball.com.au, wrote stories for major news outlets around the globe, provided game coverage plus pitched and coordinated media. I was nominated for a writing award for my coverage of the team.
Numbers include:
-
News tracking services indicate a reach over 148 million not including shares, copies and screen grabs.
-
Stories picked up from outlets all over world including MLB.com, Japan Times Al Jazeera, ESPN, Fox Sports, ABC, Sydney Morning Herald - to name a few
-
5,000,000 twitter impressions
-
1,800,000 reach on Instagram in three weeks
-
Instagram and Twitter followings doubled
I encourage you to check out Team Australia Baseball on Instagram and Facebook.
