Colorado Rockies Broadcasters

Drew Goodman, one of the most versatile broadcasters in sports, is in his 17th year calling Colorado Rockies games.

For ten years (1994-2004), Goodman was the TV play by play announcer for Denver Nuggets telecasts and from 2002-2004 was one of a few broadcasters to regularly call action for telecasts of two professional teams in the same year, annually logging more than 190 games between the Rockies and Nuggets. Prior to becoming the Rockies TV PXP voice in 2002 he worked select MLB national games for FSN and FX, and hosted the "Rockies Pregame Report" and "Rockies Weekly."

His work in football has been extensive, including stints calling the NFL for both NBC and FOX. He has called college football and basketball for FOX Sports NET, FX, ESPN, PAC 12 Network and Rockies TV over the last thirty years and continues those chores at the conclusion of the baseball season. His work has not been limited to just the major sports as he has covered everything from the ATP Tennis tour to track and field to World Cup skiing. Between 2012-2014 he co-hosted one of the top rated radio shows in Denver for 104.3 The Fan, and currently hosts the "Charlie Blackmon Show" for the station. In January of 2017 he was voted by his peers the winner of his 13th Colorado sportscaster of the year honor from the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters association.

A native of New York, Goodman received his bachelor's degree in communications from Ithaca College in 1985. He and his wife Kristi's most important endeavor is raising their three baseball players, Jacob, Zachary, and Gabriel.

In 2006, Jeff Huson embarked on a new career in baseball, serving as analyst for the Colorado Rockies. When not working in the booth, Huson's insights to the game are a welcome contribution during the Rockies pregame and postgame shows on the network.

The former University of Wyoming baseball star played 15 years in professional baseball, 12 years as a utility player with the Montreal Expos, Texas Rangers, Baltimore Orioles, Milwaukee Brewers, Seattle Mariners, Anaheim Angels and Chicago Cubs. He also served as a roving infield instructor with the Chicago Cubs organization, working with Major League prospects from the Triple-A level to the Dominican Republic League from 2001 to 2005.

He played shortstop at Wyoming in 1984 and '85 after transferring from Glendale (Ariz.) Community College. In 2015, Huson was officially inducted into the University of Wyoming Intercollegiate Athletics Hall of Fame. In 2017, Jeff was also inducted into the Glendale Community College Hall of Fame.

A native of Sedona, Ariz., Huson and his family have resided in Parker, Colo., for the past 21 years. Jeff and his wife, Wendy, are both graduates of the University of Wyoming and have three children: Lindsay, Kyle, and Cody. They welcomed their first grandchild in March of 2016, a granddaughter named Tatum.

Ryan Spilborghs joined the Rockies TV team in 2014. As a former National League Champion with the Rockies in 2007, Spilborghs provides a unique perspective on the broadcasts. He will see additional time in the booth this season, serving as game analyst alongside play-by-play man Drew Goodman for select games.

Spilborghs also serves as a part-time co-host on MLB Network Radio, and has served as emcee at numerous charity events in the Denver area.

A Santa Barbara, Calif. native, Spilborghs was recruited to play baseball at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he was a two-time Big West selection. After being selected in the seventh round of the 2002 MLB First-Year Player Draft by the Colorado Rockies, he spent six seasons as an outfielder for the team, hitting .272 with 42 home runs in 619 games. Spilborghs also did his part to advance the 2007 and 2009 Rockies teams to the postseason. One of his most notable achievements came against the Giants in late August of 2009 when he hit the first walk-off grand slam in Rockies team history.

Spilborghs lives in Denver with his wife, Stacey, and their children Kierra and Tatum.

Jack Corrigan celebrates his 33rd season broadcasting Major League Baseball and his 16th campaign with the Rockies Radio Network.
