Aaron Gleeman is an American writer primarily covering the Minnesota Twins for The Athletic and is the former Editor-in-Chief at Baseball Prospectus.
He was the co-founder and main operator of the baseball statistics website, The Hardball Times before leaving to write for NBC Sports.
After high school, he attended the University of Minnesota as a journalism major.
However, the Minnesota Daily did not hire him as a staff writer, despite annual attempts (although they did give him one freelance story which ran on the Daily website) and Gleeman eventually dropped out of the University without obtaining his degree.
The result is a number that resembles a batting average but reflects the player's ability to avoid outs and hit for power.
