Welcome to the first edition of the Five-Tool Newsletter! We’re launching this just in time for the 2021 MLB postseason, so among other things, this issue will focus on tonight’s epic AL wild-card game between the Yankees and Red Sox at Fenway Park.
For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Matt Martell, and I’m the baseball editor here at Sports Illustrated. I’ll be hosting this newsletter throughout the playoffs, with contributions from the rest of our championship-caliber baseball staff. We’ll get to them later. Now, let’s get to the good stuff.
