David Orlinsky is the founder of Vantage Baseball Group, a boutique baseball agency built on the belief that the best representation starts before anyone else is paying attention. 

 

A former collegiate player, David walked on at the junior college level, transferred to UCLA, and earned NIL deals and endorsement opportunities for himself through cold outreach and relentless self-advocacy — all while serving as a team manager. Along the way he managed to secure spots for himself in two of the nation's top collegiate summer leagues while still serving as a team manager and recovering from labrum surgery.

 

He concluded his time at UCLA by serving as the data analyst and operations manager for a UCLA program that reached the College World Series — building his career the same way he now helps build his clients'. After earning his bachelor's degree from UCLA and the conclusion of his playing career, David continued to establish himself as one of the most respected prospect evaluation voices in the baseball card industry. He leaned into this expertise and co-managed a seven figure portfolio that posted a 110% return in just over 12 months. The same eye that identifies an undervalued prospect in the market is the same eye he brings to every client relationship — seeing value where others don't, before the rest of the world catches on.

Vantage was founded on a simple principle — player first, always. Every client receives direct, personal attention from David himself. Not an assistant. Not a junior agent. A real relationship with someone who has lived the game, knows the market, and sees what others miss.

Based in Los Angeles with a nationwide reach and deep contacts throughout the Dominican Republic and Latin America, Vantage Baseball Group represents the next generation of baseball — from high school prospects to college athletes navigating NIL to minor leaguers building toward the show.
