Braves Unveil Additional Updates to Broadcast Team Lineup

On Air Overhaul

Opening Day is just around the corner, and here's the lineup that will grace the Braves broadcast booth this season.

Following last season's finale, the announcement resonated that Jeff Francoeur would be dialing back his broadcasting duties to prioritize cherished moments with his family. While Francoeur remains a familiar face, the ever-enthusiastic C.J. Nitkowski steps into the role as the Braves' permanent booth companion, teaming up seamlessly with the vibrant play-by-play voice of Brandon Gaudin. Joining them on select occasions are the illustrious Tom Glavine, the effervescent Peter Moylan, and the newest addition to the team, Collin McHugh, marking his transition from the diamond to the studio after leaving an indelible mark on Braves history.

McHugh, a Georgia native, brings not only his expertise but also a profound connection to the team, having contributed countless stellar moments over the past seasons.

In a notable shift, the Braves' on-field reporting team bids farewell to Kelly Crull after several years of dedication. Stepping into the spotlight are three promising talents: Ashley ShahAhmadi, known for her courtside prowess with the Charlotte Hornets; Hanna Yates, a seasoned professional from the world of hockey, having carved her niche with the Carolina Hurricanes; and Wiley Ballard, embarking on an exciting journey as he kickstarts his reporting career.

As the Braves embark on a new season, the synergy within the broadcast team promises to elevate the viewing experience, blending expertise, passion, and fresh perspectives for fans near and far.
