He is a board-certified dermatologist and a Fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology. ==Works== Since 1996 Jazayerli has co-authored many of the annual ''Baseball Prospectus'' volumes. He also writes occasional “Doctoring the Numbers” columns for (BaseballProspectus.com ) in which he investigates topics from a sabermetric perspective. He is the creator of the sabermetric measure of "Pitcher Abuse Points."〔Rany Jazayerli, "Baseball Prospectus Basics: How We Measure Pitcher Usage," BaseballProspectus.com (March 3, 2004)(). The term Pitcher Abuse Points – PAP – was coined by Jazayerli in an article published on the Baseball Prospectus (BP) website in 1998, and the statistic was regularly reported and discussed on the website. In 2001, Keith Woolner came up with an alternative measure, termed PAP3, which has served as the basic pitcher use statistic reported on the BP website since then. For a summary, see Keith Woolner, "Doctoring the Numbers: PAP³ FAQ," BaseballProspectus.com (June 6, 2002).()〕 Jazayerli has published seminal research on the relative merits of the 4-man and 5-man pitching rotation.〔For the last of three articles, with links to the previous two, see Rany Jazayerli, "Doctoring The Numbers: The Five-Man Rotation, Part 3," BaseballProspectus.com (August 30, 2002).()〕 His most important recent major research contribution is a series of twelve articles published on BaseballProspectus.com in 2005-2006 reporting a massive study of the changing patterns of the Major League Baseball player draft.〔For the final article see "Doctoring The Numbers: The Draft, Part 12," BaseballProspectus.com (June 5, 2006)().〕 He and Rob Neyer of ESPN co-authored a blog called “Rob & Rany on the Royals,”() in which they both would lament the performance of the Kansas City Royals major league franchise. He now writes his own blog, "Rany on the Royals,"(). Since 2011 he has been a contributing writer to ''Grantland''.
