Vin Scully is (likely) heading into his final season with the Los Angeles Dodgers and on Wednesday, the team just might have hired his successor.
Joe Davis, currently with FOX Sports, where he calls Major League Baseball, college football and basketball games, will assume play-by-play duties alongside Orel Hershiser and Nomar Garciaparra. The 27-year-old will work 50 road games, with Charley Steiner handling the rest.
“This is an incredible opportunity,” Davis told The Hall. “I feel so lucky, so fortunate to be joining such a storied organization doing a job I’ve always dreamed of doing. I cant wait to get started.”
“Joe Davis has put together an outstanding play-by-play resume,” Dodgers Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer Lon Rosen said in a release. “We are thrilled to have one of the top young sports broadcast talents in the nation join our great television team.”
Scully, who turns 88 on November 29, indicated back in August that 2016 that he expects to call it quits following the 2016 season.
