The Milwaukee Brewers announced this morning that Jeff Levering will be added to the Brewers radio broadcast team.
Levering – who spent the past two seasons as the lead play-by-play broadcaster for the Boston Red sox Triple-A affiliate, the Pawtucket Red Sox – will serve as a play-by-play broadcaster for select road games on 620 WTMJ and the Brewers Radio Network, handling three innings of play-by-play during games missed by Bob Uecker.
For days when he's not on air, Levering will also provide video, photo, audio and written content for the Brewers' website and social media platforms.
Levering's first official day with the organization will be Sunday, Jan. 25, when he'll be introduced and welcomed on the main stage at Brewers On Deck. The event runs from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. at the Wisconsin Center.
"Jeff will be a great addition to the organization, and this is an opportunity for him to contribute both in the radio booth and in our new media efforts," said Brewers Chief Operating Officer Rick Schlesinger. "By creating this role, we have a consistent voice filling in when Bob elects to stay home on occasional road trips, and we add resources to our expanding social media outreach. We welcome Jeff to the organization and look forward to introducing him to Brewers fans at Brewers On Deck."
"I am thrilled beyond words to be joining the Milwaukee Brewers broadcast team as well as their talented front office," Levering said. "Being part of a radio booth that features the legendary Bob Uecker and Joe Block is a tremendous honor, and a responsibility that I don't take lightly. Calling games in the Major Leagues has been a dream of mine since I was a kid, and to have a chance to realize it is truly amazing. I can't thank the Brewers enough for their faith in me and allowing me the opportunity to work in such a terrific organization. My family is excited to immerse ourselves in Milwaukee and be diehard Brewers fans."
