The 2019 MLB season is over and it's hard to believe that I've photographed 80 (!!) games this year – 78 at Kauffman Stadium here in KC, and two at Progressive Field in Cleveland, Ohio for Players' Weekend. It was a marathon of a baseball season, but I learned so much and had a blast working alongside some of the best in the biz. Thank you so, so much to the MLB Live Content team for this opportunity.
Without further ado, here are my favorite frames from the second half of the season.
This baseball season I joined the MLB Advanced Media team to cover all 81 home games for the Kansas City Royals and their opponents. As an LCC (live content creator) I transmit images in real-time during games to the two teams for social media useage. It's been so much fun – albeit a little exhausting – and I'm thankful to have had the opportunity to work alongside some of the best photographers in the business, meet new people and learn new things, while making images of a game I love.
The Royals just finished up their 50th game at Kauffman Stadium this season, so I figured now was as good a time as any to finally get a blog post up with some of my favorite photos from the year so far.
Presenting my favorite 50 photos from the first 50 home games in Kansas City:
Iowa State fans turned Kansas City's Sprint Center into Hilton South for their matchup against the reigning Big XII tournament champions, KU. The Cyclones shocked the higher-seeded Jayhawks to take their second title in three years.
I had the privilege of photographing the 2019 Big XII Men's Basketball Tournament for the second year last weekend. Those four days at Sprint Center are among my favorite of the year. I grew up a Big XII sports fan, attended a (formerly) Big XII school and love watching how the rivalries unfold and the records don't seem to matter at the end of the season. This year's tournament was great fun and full of nail-biting moments. Here are some of my favorite photos from the first three rounds.
This year I have been fortunate enough to be given the opporunity to return as the photographer for the Kansas City Comets. We're halfway through the 2018-2019 season so I figured I should probably take the time to upload some of my favorite photographs from our home games thus far. It has been a blast and I am so happy to be back at Silverstein working with some of the most fun athletes in KCMO.
