"From calling MLB games on television and radio, to extensive studio work and features, I'm excited about everything that lies ahead. Some of the best memories of my career have been with Sunday Night Baseball and I will miss my time with our amazing crew, who have been like family. I'm grateful to ESPN for continuing to commit to me and I can't wait for the season to get started."
