Robertson’s voice can be heard on broadcasts of all Pelicans home games via MiLB.TV and Bally Sports Live™, Marquee Sports Network, and audio streaming. In addition to broadcasting games, he will coordinate media opportunities with players and coaches.
"I’m incredibly excited to join the Pelicans organization," Robertson said. "It’s a huge honor to join the long list of high-caliber broadcasters that have come before me. I am thrilled to continue bringing great coverage of Pelicans baseball to the area. I can’t wait to tell the stories of future Chicago Cubs to our amazing fans. It doesn’t get any better than calling baseball by the beach.”
Robertson, 25, spent the 2025 season as the Broadcast and Media Relations Assistant with the Portland Sea Dogs, the Double-A Affiliate of the Boston Red Sox.

The Roanoke, Va. native graduated from Virginia Tech in 2023, earning his Bachelor of Arts in Sports Media & Analytics and a minor in Organizational Leadership. While there, he provided play-by-play for various Virginia Tech Hokies athletic events as a member of 3304 Sports, the student-run radio broadcast group.
“We’re excited to have Joey join the team,” stated Pelicans General Manager Kristin Call. “He’s a talented young broadcaster and we’re thrilled that he’s chosen to take the next step of his career in Myrtle Beach.”
