# Talking Baseball in the Bigs

> Meet Three Terp Radio Broadcasters Calling MLB Games This Season

*Image2 1920x1080 — Triple-A Omaha Storm Chasers broadcaster Jake Eisenberg ’17 is filling in part-time on the New York Mets’ radio team this season, joining fellow Terps Matt Hicks '83 (below, left) and Josh Maurer '03 (below, center) in big league booths. Hicks has called Texas Rangers games for more than a decade, while Maurer started with the Milwaukee Brewers this year.*

Terp fans tuning in to the record-breaking 38-10 Maryland baseball team’s games this season should listen carefully: In a few years, they might just recognize those same voices on the call at the major league level.

A growing number of pro baseball broadcasters got their starts on UMD’s campus. Joining longtime Texas Rangers radio play-by-play announcer Matt Hicks ’83 in big league booths this season are Josh Maurer ’03, now a member of the Milwaukee Brewers’ crew, and Jake Eisenberg ’17, who’s filling in part-time on the New York Mets’ broadcast team. They all credit the experience and connections they gained at UMD for helping them get the coveted call-up to the majors.
