Director of Broadcasting & Storytelling
About the Mississippi Mud Monsters
The Mississippi Mud Monsters are a young professional baseball team entering our second season in Pearl. We are building something intentionally, rooted in community, creativity, and the belief that baseball is better when it feels human, joyful, and connected.
We care about winning games. We care just as much about telling great stories. Our broadcast is not background noise. It is how fans meet our players, understand the game, and fall in love with this team.
Who We’re Looking For
We are looking for someone who wants to own the voice of the Mud Monsters.
This is a leadership role that blends play-by-play, storytelling, operations, and creativity. You will be the primary voice of the team and the person responsible for building, running, and evolving everything that supports how the game is presented, recorded, and remembered.
Things break. Plans change. Emotions run high. The right person for this role stays calm, thinks clearly, and keeps the story moving when everything around them is unpredictable.
What You’ll Do
- Serve as the primary play-by-play voice for all Mississippi Mud Monsters games.
- Call home games live from Trustmark Park and produce road broadcasts remotely.
- Oversee all broadcast operations for the organization.
- Hire, train, and manage a secondary broadcaster or support broadcast talent.
- Serve as the technical point person for all broadcasts, including coordination with the Frontier League.
- Oversee the Official Scorekeeper and Field Timing Coordinator to ensure accurate, consistent game records and pacing.
- Manage all game-related data collection and statistical tracking.
- Develop game notes, media materials, and press releases related to game action and team performance.
- Host and produce pregame and postgame shows, including interviews and features.
- Help define the tone, style, and storytelling approach of Mud Monsters broadcasts.
- Capture, edit, and distribute video and audio content for social and digital platforms.
- Serve as an on-camera and on-mic presence for team content and promotions.
- Represent the Mud Monsters at media events, announcements, and community moments.
How You Show Up
- You stay composed and professional when technology fails or plans change mid-game.
- You make smart, human decisions in live moments without freezing or spiraling.
- You understand feedback comes from many places and know how to navigate it calmly.
- You protect the flow of the game, the integrity of the broadcast, and the relationship with fans.
- You know when to explain, when to pivot, and when to let the game breathe.
- Work directly with the AGM and the GM
What We’re Looking For
- Strong experience calling baseball games and a deep understanding of the sport.
- Leadership instincts and comfort overseeing people and processes.
- Technical understanding of broadcast workflows, equipment, and production needs.
- Attention to detail with data, scoring, timing, and game records.
- Comfort creating and editing digital content for social platforms.
- Strong writing skills for recaps, releases, and game-related materials.
- A storyteller who thrives in live environments and does not get rattled when things go sideways.
- A collaborative teammate excited to help build something meaningful.
The Details
- Seasonal position based at Trustmark Park in Pearl, Mississippi.
- Home games are broadcast live from the ballpark. Road games are broadcast remotely.
- Nights, weekends, and baseball hours apply.
- This role offers real ownership, creative freedom, and the chance to shape how a growing team connects with its fans.
If live baseball, big moments, and building something real from the ground up gets you fired up, this might be your place.
