I’m Sam Sallick, a 2024 graduate from the University of Denver. A battle with bone cancer in high school ended my baseball pitching career, but my passion for sports lives on in the stories I tell and in the games I cover and analyze. Nothing will get in my way.
Currently, I am covering the Washington Nationals 2024 season for the online publication LastWordOnSports. Over the past three years I’ve also worked as a sports writer for the University of Denver student paper, The Clarion. The highlight was covering DU Hockey's Frozen Four victory from the press box at the Boston Garden in 2022. I spent the 2023 baseball season covering the Atlanta Braves as a writer for Batterpower.com, the top SBNation baseball blog.
I have experience writing timely game coverage, analytical previews, and player and coach profiles. I have also done extensive data and analytics research.
