Mike Weisman Joins The P-Nats Broadcast Booth for 2016

Woodbridge, VA-- The Potomac Nationals are happy to welcome veteran broadcaster, Mike Weisman to the 2016 broadcast team.

Weisman, of Marblehead, MA, will join Bryan Holland, Voice of the Potomac Nationals, throughout the season and potential playoff contests on the Potomac Nationals Baseball Network as a play-by-play announcer and color commentator. A product of the University of Miami, Weisman will also assist the P-Nats' Media Relations Department.

A 2011 Miami graduate, Weisman has spent the past two seasons working for the Clinton LumberKings, Single-A affiliate of the Seattle Mariners. In 2014, he worked as the #2 Broadcaster and Assistant Director of Media Relations, and then stepped into the lead role in both departments in 2015.

"I've known Bryan since the 2013 MLB Winter Meetings in Orlando, and was thrilled to be presented with the opportunity to work alongside him in 2016," said Weisman. "Hopefully 2016 can mark a return to the Carolina League Playoffs for the Potomac Nationals."

In addition to his two years in Clinton, Iowa, the 27-year-old spent a summer in Washington state where he broadcast for the Bellingham Bells, a summer-collegiate team north of Seattle, and spent four years covering University of Miami football, baseball, and men's and women's basketball. Weisman's time at Miami included the opportunity to cover multiple Miami football games as well as numerous ACC Baseball Tournaments and the ACC Women's Basketball Tournament in 2012.

"Mike's a true professional within our industry," said Holland. "He's going to serve as an invaluable asset both behind the microphone and in our Media Relations department. Mike's versatility is what sets him apart, and I'm excited to work with him during the upcoming 2016 season."
