Veteran Atlanta Braves radio announcer Jim Powell has decided not to return to the booth for the 2024 MLB season. Powell has been with the Braves broadcast team for the past 15 years but has recently been calling fewer games. Ben Ingram and Joe Simpson have been the team’s main announcers in recent seasons.
“I am writing this post to let you know that I have called my last game for the Braves,” Powell wrote on Twitter/X. “It has been an honor to broadcast so many great games in my own hometown. I won’t speculate why this happened: it’s professional sports and we all serve at the pleasure of our employer.”
