Jomboy (sports media)

James Vincent Michael O'Brien (born February 18, 1989), better known by his nickname Jomboy, is an American baseball commentator, podcast host, and internet personality.

He co-created the popular New York Yankees podcast Talkin' Yanks in 2017, and rose to wider prominence in 2019 with his viral "breakdown" videos, in which he examines notable sporting events in detail, often aided by his lip reading ability.
