Hey there!
My name is Luke Wagner, a recent graduate of the Broad College of Business at Michigan State University with a degree in Business Management.
For the past seven seasons, I have worked as a Clubhouse Attendant for the Detroit Tigers, gaining a firsthand understanding of the day to day operations of a Major League Baseball organization and the demands of a 162 game season.
Additionally, I was recently selected by Major League Baseball for the Billy Bean Fellowship, a highly competitive program identifying emerging talent in Baseball Operations. As a result, my information was distributed to all 30 Clubs as a recognized top candidate.
I've always had a deep passion for baseball analytics, particularly in the areas of salary forecasting and roster construction. I enjoy exploring how player performance translates into financial value and how teams balance talent, payroll, and long term roster needs. Understanding the decision making behind building and maintaining a competitive roster has always been one of the most interesting aspects of baseball to me.
Additionally, my experiences in the clubhouse have drawn me toward the administrative side of baseball, particularly team travel. I have developed a passion for the work that goes into creating a seamless, first class experience for players and staff, anticipating their needs and ensuring they have everything they need to simply focus on the game.
I hope to take the next step in my career by bringing that experience, understanding, and passion to a professional baseball operations environment.
