Hi! I'm the New Guy...

Hello to all of the readers of the website FGCU Eagles Nest! My name is Cameron J. Kaiser, and I am a freshman at Florida Gulf Coast University. I am from Toledo, Ohio, so I am about 1,200 miles away from home.

I am an avid sports fan. I grew up in a household that revolved around baseball. I follow Major League Baseball religiously. I cheer adamantly for the Detroit Tigers, but also have a soft spot for the Chicago Cubs. However, baseball is not the only sport that I follow. I watch both college and professional football in the fall, and I cheer for the Michigan Wolverines and Pittsburgh Steelers, respectively. I'm not a huge NBA fan, but somehow find myself watching the Detroit Pistons every night in the winter. College basketball is my favorite sport next to Major League Baseball, and I'm sure you can guess the team that I cheer for (Dunk City hint hint).

Although I was never a very good baseball player, I stayed involved in my high school's baseball program for four years filling various management roles. This is not the first website that I have ever written for. In 2012 I started the Detroit Tigers blog T-Town Tiger, and am still writing it today. I have also written articles for the Toledo Free Press, and the baseball statistics website Fangraphs. I am a statistics nut. I will do everything I can to incorporate advanced metrics into my articles on here, whether it be about baseball or basketball. I don't have very much experience writing about basketball, but I can promise you I will be voicing my opinions loud and clear on the men's upcoming season.

With that being said, baseball is still my specialty. Once the 2015 baseball season rolls around you will be hearing a lot from me on the progression of the Eagles. I will do my best to keep you all updated on recruiting news along with some recaps of big games, but the majority of my work will be statistical analysis. As I stated previously, I am crazy for statistics. I have a vast understanding of advanced metrics in baseball. I will use my understanding to analyze the team and individual players throughout the season. I'm a big believer in sabermetrics, and I'm going to conduct my analysis in a way so that you, the reader, can understand the points I will try to make. I want you to learn more about the wonderful game of baseball as you read my work. It's a beautiful game, and it only gets better the more you understand about it.

I am looking forward to writing on this website, and I hope that you are excited to follow along! Go Eagles!
