The Colorado Rockies appear to have found their next voice in the radio booth. Zach Goodman, the son of longtime Denver broadcaster Drew Goodman, will join Jack Corrigan on KOA Radio broadcasts for the 2026 season.
Goodman recently completed a three-game audition during spring training, one of several candidates evaluated by the station. Following the announcement, Goodman shared his gratitude publicly.
“All glory to God! I’m so thankful to KOA Radio for giving me the opportunity to live out my dream,” Goodman said. “I’m blessed with the best family and friends in the world, whom I love so much. Rockies baseball is in my blood, and I can’t wait to experience every pitch with all of you!”
Initially, the team’s plan for 2026 remained unclear whether Corrigan would handle games solo or if the station would pursue a familiar option. Instead, KOA opted for an open audition process during spring training. Multiple candidates rotated alongside Corrigan, each receiving a small sample of games to showcase their style, chemistry and command of the broadcast.
Goodmann has worked the last two seasons as the lead broadcaster for the Amarillo Sod Poodles (Double-A, Arizona Diamondbacks). He will make his debut in the booth this Saturday as the Rockies host the Philadelphia Phillies.
The radio booth vacancy after a notable change to the Rockies’ radio team. At the conclusion of the 2025 season, veteran broadcaster Jerry Schemmel was informed he would not return to the booth. The move marked the second time Schemmel has been laid off by iHeartRadio in the past six years.
