Jeff Passan at 0.94 and Baseball Reference at 0.88 form two distinct poles in Jomboy's top 10 — one a beat-reporter cluster, the other a data-and-reference cluster — and the audience sits squarely between them.
The shape is two-peak. The first peak is a dense band of baseball journalists: Jeff Passan (0.94), Ken Rosenthal (0.92), Jon Heyman (0.90), Peter Gammons (0.88), and Jayson Stark (0.87) all carry the Journalists subcategory and cluster tightly at the top. The second peak is reference and analytics: Baseball Reference (0.88) and FanGraphs Baseball (0.87) represent the Websites subcategory and sit nearly as high. Buster Olney (0.87) and Bob Nightengale (0.85) extend the journalist run, while Baseball Prospectus (0.85) anchors the analytics side. Jomboy's own subcategory — Humor Memes and Satire — appears nowhere in the top 10; every neighbor is either a credentialed reporter or a statistical resource. The audience this entity draws is not shaped by comedy or satire peers; it is shaped by the same people who follow baseball's most serious information infrastructure.
That combination — beat journalism and sabermetric databases pulling at nearly equal strength — marks an audience that treats baseball as both a news beat and an analytical pursuit.
