About Me
Play-By-Play Reels
In my career, I've worked up many hours of baseball play-by-play and at the end of every season, I compile some of my favorite moments and best segments. Below is my baseball reel from the 2026 season with the Omaha Storm Chasers, starting with a minute of highlights followed by two uninterrupted clips of commentary.
Outside of baseball, I've also called many basketball, football, soccer, volleyball and softball games since I started broadcasting. Below is my most recent example of what I sound like, combining my experience across sports. It begins with a minute of some of my favorite moments from broadcasting, followed by three, uninterrupted commentary segments of baseball, basketball and volleyball.
