According to a report from Andrew Marchand of The New York Post, Jon Sciambi will become the voice of the World Series on ESPN Radio in 2023.
Sciambi, who has served as the network’s lead Major League Baseball announcer, will replace Dan Shulman as the voice of the World Series. Shulman, who has worked as the World Series announcer for ESPN Radio since 2010, also serves as the television play-by-play announcer for the Toronto Blue Jays. If the Blue Jays were to ever make the World Series, Shulman would be able to announce the games in Canada.
With his move away from MLB games on ESPN Radio, Shulman is scaling back his workload with ESPN to only include college basketball games on television. With Shulman now only working college basketball for the network, Marchand posits it gives the announcer a break between the end of the grueling baseball season and the start of college basketball.
In addition to his work as the lead play-by-play voice for ESPN Radio, Sciambi — often called “Boog” — is the lead television announcer for the Chicago Cubs on Marquee Sports Network.
