About the role
An independent professional baseball club is hiring one person to announce and produce its live-streamed home games for the 2027 summer season.

- Coordinate pregame coverage, player introductions, game action and postgame coverage.
- Monitor audio, video and internet quality, and fix technical problems during live games.
- Help the general manager with game-day setup, schedules, roster updates and lineup documentation, and stay in contact with the field manager and league office.
Requirements
- Strong knowledge of baseball rules, terminology and strategy.
- Clear, engaging play-by-play announcing ability.
- Ability to operate live-streaming production software and multi-camera switching.
- Familiarity with sports graphics, scoreboards and broadcast overlays.
- Organized, detail-oriented and able to work independently and troubleshoot during live events.
