Mitchell Speltz Announced as New Voice of the Shorebirds

Speltz Takes Over for Sam Jellinek in Broadcast Booth

Salisbury, MD - The Delmarva Shorebirds, Class-A affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles, are excited to introduce Mitchell Speltz as the new Director of Broadcasting & Media Relations for the 2023 season. Speltz will take over for Sam Jellinek who recently accepted a position with the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs, the Triple-A affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies.

“I’m so excited to be a part of the Shorebirds organization and be the voice of the team for the upcoming season,” Speltz said “Huge thank you to Chris Bitters and Ben Vigliarolo for believing in me and Sam Jellinek who helped make this opportunity possible for myself.”

Speltz will begin his second season in Minor League Baseball and in the Carolina League as the Wisconsin native comes over from the Augusta GreenJackets where he served a similar role with the Atlanta Braves affiliate last season. He graduated from Viterbo University in La Crosse, Wisconsin, and began his baseball broadcasting career in the Northwoods League where he was the 2021 Broadcaster of the Year with the Mankato MoonDogs.

“We are thrilled to welcome Mitchell to the Shorebirds for the 2023 season and a familiar voice in the Carolina League,” explained Shorebirds General Manager Chris Bitters. “Mitchell is a veteran broadcaster and we are excited to continue to give fans deep insights and personal connections to their favorite Shorebirds players.”

You can listen to Mitchell call all 132 games this season on the Shorebirds Baseball Network & MiLB.TV beginning on Thursday, April 6 when Delmarva faces the Salem Red Sox on the road for the start of a three-game series.
