on
@Learfield

I can't wait to take advantage of this incredible opportunity and tell the story of a team looking to capture the America East Conference crown.
'Cats Nation, let's go to work!
Let's try this again . . .
I'm excited to announce that I'm joining the
@railcats
of
@AA_Baseball
as the Director of Broadcasting and Media Relations! After being out of baseball entirely in 2021, getting the chance to come back like this is so special.
Let's get to work, Gary!
I'm very proud to announce that I am joining the
@railcats
of
@AA_Baseball
as a play-by-play broadcaster!
As I begin my pro broadcasting journey, I'm excited to start with a top MLB Partner League close to home. I can't wait to get to work and bring baseball back to The Region!
Today's the day, my first-ever pro baseball broadcast.
With all the obstacles I faced over the last two years, I never thought this opportunity would ever come. But now that it's here, I plan to take full advantage.
So let's go out and have fun today!
Two years ago, I was working in sales, thinking my broadcasting career was over.
Tomorrow, I'm lucky enough to call a
@MarchMadnessWBB
game at Gampel Pavilion.
The journey rarely ever goes as planned, but it's worth every step along the way. Let's have some fun.
From considering quitting broadcasting altogether to becoming the voice of both a minor league baseball team and a D-I college basketball team, 2022 was quite the journey.
I'm so grateful for the year that was, but I am so excited for what's ahead in 2023.
Happy New Year! 🥂
I am very proud and honored to announce that I will be joining the
@CotuitKettleers
this summer as a play-by-play broadcaster. Words can't describe how excited I am for the opportunity to broadcast the best summer collegiate baseball in the nation. Can't wait to get started!
Year 2️⃣ in pro baseball is in the books!
Through all the ups and downs and the grind that goes with it, I wouldn't trade this season for anything.
Thank you,
@railcats
, for allowing me to pursue my dreams every day and always pushing me to be my best self every single day!
I debated posting this video because I don't want to make this moment about me, but it just felt too good not to share.
Here's my view
#InTheBooth
during the final seconds of
@UVMwbb
's win over UAlbany in the
@jerseymikes
@AmericaEast
Playoff Finals. The Cats are going dancing!
Cheers to an incredible run and remarkable journey.
Thank you,
@UVMwbb
, for one of the most fulfilling and rewarding experiences of my life. It was an honor to tell your stories, and I'm so proud to have played a small role in this historic season. Let's run it back next year!
Stats like this are what gets the fans excited. It's what makes them care about why this game matters.
Most of all, it helps build the narrative and tell the story of the season.
The fact that this got Kevin Brown suspended is absolutely laughable. Downright pathetic.
Here's the clip of Kevin Brown's pregame comments on the Orioles' recent record against the Rays ahead of a series finale on July 23. Sources tell AA these comments led to Brown's current indefinite suspension from Orioles' broadcasts.
The whole
@UVMwbb
team just created a cool memory for the Richason family.
Delaney's parents changed their flight to see her score her 1,000th point instead of going to her sister Katey's game.
At the postgame meal, the Cats cheered her on as Miami (OH) beat Western Michigan.
LIFE UPDATE:
I'm very proud to join
@DSUStatesmen
as a Broadcasting/Media Relations Graduate Assistant! I'm excited to achieve a short-term career goal of calling high-level college sports while also pursuing an MBA. Let's get to work, Statesmen Nation!
#WhereChampionsPlay
How significant was
@UVMwbb
's win?
- Snapped UAlbany's 14-game win streak
- Broke UAlbany's 20-game home win streak (last loss was 12/3/22)
- This is Vermont's first win in Albany since February 5, 2010
Enjoy it, Cats fans! What an end to the first half of conference play!

Here are his thoughts on that final play:
Year 1 of pro baseball in the books ✅️
So many memories, so many incredible moments. I can't thank
@railcats
enough for taking a chance on me and for allowing me to keep pursuing my dreams.
This was truly and incredible summer, hopefully we can run it back next year!
It's here, it's beautiful, and it's ready just in time for Opening Day!
I absolutely can't wait to see what stories this book will tell.
Happy
@AA_Baseball
Opening Day!
Come on, lay off the kid.
Whatever you were doing at 19 years old, I know you weren't facing Team USA in the World Baseball Classic. The fact that he was in this situation to begin with is insanely impressive.
- A nine-game winning streak
- First two-game winning streak over Maine since 2013
- First season sweep over Maine since 2009-10
Yeah,
@UVMwbb
just did that.
If you haven't jumped on the bandwagon yet, there's still time and they're plenty of room!
Very excited to announce that I'll be calling select games at the
@NAPHL

This is absolutely HUGE for

Getting an invite to a tournament like this shows just how far this program has come, and it'll be really cool to see how they stack up against some of the country's best programs.

Regardless of what happens tonight, I want to express how grateful I am for

To tell their stories and provide the soundtrack to their accomplishments is a true honor.

If you get all nine, I'll shout you out on tonight's broadcast!
The three roommates paved the way today:
- Utterback led in both points (20) and rebounds (6)
- Olson dropped 16 points, 5 rebounds, shot 80% from the field
- Richason blocked 3 shots to add to her 1,000th point
Where in the apartment are the 1,000-point basketballs going?
Catamounts earn a crucial conference victory to improve to 3-1 in America East play!
Emma Utterback had her fifth 20 point game of the season and Delaney Richason recorded her 1000th career point!
#LetsRally
Good news: Vermont leads UMass Lowell 26-19 at halftime
Great news: Kids are still doing the YMCA dance in 2024
The energy at the Catamount Classroom game has been incredible!
A year ago, I never thought I would be in the position I am today.
As I turn 24 today, I can't help but feel so grateful for where I am now and the path I took to get here. This past year was very tough, but it makes the payoff that much sweeter.
Super excited for what's next!
The American Association is going to look and sound so much different without you in it.
Congratulations,

With
@AA_Baseball
Opening Day a day away, now is as good a time as any to announce that this season, I will once again donate $5 for every
@railcats
home run to
@BlackPxPFund
!
I hope I can continue to do my part to make broadcasting a more inclusive and accepting place!
Broadcasters mess up sometimes.
We're human. We make mistakes.
Calling games at an event like the Men's College World Series naturally brings more scrutiny when those mistakes happen, but that's totally not fair. Karl Ravech shouldn't have to apologize.
Leave him alone.
Just a reminder, MLB Opening Day getting delayed does not mean that there is no baseball.
The
@railcats
home opener is still May 20, and I hope to either see you there or have you tune in.
Presenting, in all its glory, my scorebook from the 1,000th win in
@railcats
franchise history.
I am so blessed to be a part of this organization, and to be the voice that called this milestone win is not an honor I take lightly.
Here's to the next 1,000 wins!
Words cannot express how grateful I am to the
@Sanford_Mainers
organization for giving me the opportunity to continue pursuing my dream of becoming a sports broadcaster. I had the time of my life calling baseball games every day, it's an experience I won't soon forget!
Last summer, I went the entire 100-game American Association season without drinking a single cup of coffee.
Somehow, it took my cousin's 7:30 AM bar mitzvah to get me to drink my first cup of the year
This just doesn't feel real. I can't believe it. All the time I spent honing my craft, establishing connections, calling games, grinding out summer baseball seasons, all to earn the opportunity of a lifetime to broadcast in the Cape League, and just like that it's gone . . .
For the past five years, I've been listening to the voice of
@JustinAllegri
on MLB The Show. Yesterday, I got to work along side him. Big thanks to him,
@krichardson46
and
@SanJoseStateFB
for allowing me to be a part of their broadcast team
#SpartanUp
One final thought from today's
@UVMwbb
win:
This team didn't just win on the court. It's always nice to be reminded of the impact these players have in the Burlington community as well as their influence on the next generation.
Sports matter. Representation matters.
Make it 10 straight wins for
@UVMwbb
, their first double-digit win streak since 2002.
That season, they made an impressive run to the 3rd round of the WNIT. This year, though, they've got a shot to do even better.
This team is FOR REAL!
Excited is an understatement. I'm absolutely stoked to have Zach with me in the booth this season!
@railcats
fans, you're really going to like this guy. Give him a follow!
A family friend listened to my broadcast last night and told my parents that "I sound like a real broadcaster."
I should hope so, that's literally my job 🤣🤣🤣
These next four days remind me of why I love this job so much.
Today: 🏐
Tomorrow: 🏈
Saturday: 🏐
Sunday: ⚽️
With baseball season in the rearview mirror, I'm excited to get right back to work and take on this challenge. Let's do this!
I told myself I wasn't going to another baseball game until I announced one . . . but I'm making an exception.
If it means I have to break my own rule to bring my broadcast partner to his first Cubs game, so be it.
This is such a well-deserved honor for Emma after playing her most complete week of basketball so far.
When you average 17.5 points, 9.0 assists, 4.5 rebounds, and 1.5 steals over the course of a week, this should be a gimme.
It certainly won't be her last weekly award either.
Some strong performances from these two last week to earn Women's

- Emma Utterback dished nine assists for the second straight game
- The team secured its third straight winning non-conference record and back-to-back with eight non-con wins
For those who are keeping track, that's seven straight wins for
@UVMwbb
, their longest in program history since 2009-10.
One month left until the conference tournament, plenty of room on the bandwagon!
