SoCal native and former KTLA intern Stephen Nelson joins Dodgers’ play-by-play announcers

Award-winning broadcaster Stephen Nelson has joined the team of play-by-play announcers for the Los Angeles Dodgers.

As a Southern California native, Nelson said it’s the “honor of his career” to announce for the Boys in Blue.

“To be a part of that is sort of dizzying,” Nelson said, referencing the legendary Vin Scully and now “the voice of baseball” Joe Davis.

Nelson is also a former KTLA intern who has known Frank Buckley since his days at Chapman University.
