Scott Kornberg to Broadcast Seven Additional Marlins Regular Season Games
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp Director of Broadcasting & Media Relations and radio play-by-play voice Scott Kornberg will join the Marlins Radio Network to broadcast seven additional Marlins regular season games from September 9-15, when Miami plays at the Pittsburgh Pirates and Washington Nationals.
Kornberg, who has also broadcast select Marlins’ Spring Training games each of the last four seasons, made his major league debut on May 18 and had the walk-off call in a Marlins win over the New York Mets. He will be paired with Miami Marlins broadcaster Kyle Sielaff and pregame host Stephen Strom on the Marlins Radio Network. Fans can listen on 940 WINZ AM and 94.9 HD2 in South Florida, as well as nationwide on MLB.tv and the MLB app.
“My major league debut on May 18 was truly a dream come true, and if that was the only game I ever got in the major leagues, it would have been more than enough,” Kornberg said. “I am incredibly grateful to Kyle Sielaff, Stephen Strom and the Miami Marlins to live out my dream even further. A humongous thank you to my family and friends, who have continued to support me whole-heartedly throughout this extraordinary journey, as well as to the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp for the wonderful opportunity they have given me.”
A native of Belle Mead, N.J., Kornberg is currently in the midst of his fifth season with Jacksonville and 10th in professional baseball.
