Baseball America

Baseball America is a sports magazine that covers baseball at every level, with a particular focus on up-and-coming players in high school, college, Japan, and the minor leagues. It is currently published in the form of a bi-weekly newspaper, five annual reference book titles, a weekly podcast, and a website. It also regularly produces lists of the top prospects in the sport, and covers aspects of the game from a player-development point of view. The publication's motto is "Baseball news you can't find anywhere else."

History

Founded in 1980, Baseball America established itself as one of the top baseball-only publications and has since grown into a full-service media company. Founder Allan Simpson began writing the magazine from Canada, originally calling it the All-America Baseball News. By 1983, Simpson moved the magazine to Durham, North Carolina, after it was purchased by then-Durham Bulls owner Miles Wolff. Simpson has since resigned his position at the magazine, and the publication has been passed on to co-editors in chief John Manuel and Will Lingo. Today, Baseball America is home to a ten-man editorial staff. It also uses out-of-office correspondents for its content.
