In December of 2021, I published my second book, Major League Mindset: Elevate Your Baseball Play-by-Play. The book is designed for young baseball announcers looking to improve their play-by-play skills. This concepts in this guide were gleaned from thirty-three years in baseball broadcasting, twenty-five years at the major league level.

I examine subjects including game prep, interviewing, filtering listener criticism, where to go to school, where to find opportunities and much more. I also examine the mental aspects of sports broadcasting at the professional level, in the minor leagues and the major leagues.

If you are a young sportscaster in high school, college or even currently in the minor leagues, with hopes of someday broadcasting at the major league level, this guide will help you polish and develop the skills needed to become the best baseball announcer you can be.

Scoring a major league baseball play-by-play job is difficult. The competition is fierce and the talent pool is deep. That doesn’t mean it can’t be accomplished. The book will serve both as a guide and a reminder of the skills that you will need to sharpen on your journey. I hope it helps to make you a better baseball broadcaster. Good Luck!
