Jeff Levering is an American sportscaster. Levering is currently the lead play-by-play announcer for the Milwaukee Brewers on MLB Local Media, LLC / Brewers.TV, and he served as the secondary announcer to Bob Uecker with the Brewers Radio Network (usually the primary for road games outside the Midwest). He was named to this position for the 2022 season.[1]
College
[edit | edit source]Levering graduated from Chapman University in 2005, where in 2003 he was the designated hitter on Chapman's 2003 Division III national championship team.[2][3] Levering has joked that he "wasn't good enough" to pursue a career as a ballplayer, and so he turned to broadcasting to stay close to the game.[4]
Broadcasting career
[edit | edit source]His broadcasting career began in Rancho Cucamonga with the Class A Rancho Cucamonga Quakes of the California League. He was a radio broadcaster for the St. Louis Cardinals AA team from 2010 to 2012, then worked for the Boston Red Sox AAA team from 2012 to 2015.[5] Levering then joined the Brewers radio team in 2015. In 2021, the Brewers announced that Levering would become a permanent broadcaster for the television broadcasts as Brian Anderson began to work more prominently for TNT Sports and CBS Sports. Levering also occasionally works for Fox Sports and BTN covering college basketball, football and baseball, including occasional Brewers games carried nationally as part of the MLB on Fox package.[6]
