AMARILLO, Texas (KFDA) – Eric Bach is taking over as the Sod Poodles play-by-play broadcaster, replacing Zach Goodman, who has been called up to the Colorado Rockies.<\/p>\n
Bach is coming to the Soddies from the Fredericksburg Nationals, the Single-A affiliate team of the Washington Nationals. He was with the Fred-Nats since 2023 and was named the Carolina League Broadcaster of the Year by his peers in 2024.<\/p>\n
Tony Ensor, president and general manager of the Sod Poodles, said the team has a unique legacy with its broadcasters.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know we have a legacy here at Sod Poodles Baseball where all of our previous broadcasters are now broadcasting in the major leagues,\u201d Ensor said. \u201cNo other team in America can say that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ensor said no other team among all 120 minor league teams can say every broadcaster in their history has gone on to broadcast Major League Baseball.<\/p>\n
\u201cI told Eric, please do not break my streak of major league broadcasters,\u201d Ensor said. \u201cI\u2019ve got a pretty good feeling that streak will continue because this guy is very talented.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bach said the opportunity at HODGETOWN fits his career goals.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat they\u2019ve built here is such a great brand,\u201d Bach said. \u201cI mean, it checks all the boxes of, as Tony likes to say, it\u2019s a major league experience on a minor league scale, but it\u2019s also super community-based too.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bach said he has a dream of broadcasting Major League Baseball.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have to work your way there and there\u2019s just no better place to do it in minor league baseball than right here at HODGETOWN and Amarillo,\u201d Bach said.<\/p>\n
