Sam Levitt will join KWFN-FM (97.3 The Fan)/San Diego's flagship broadcast coverage of the San Diego Padres as pre-game and post-game host. Levitt joins the broadcast team alongside play-by-play announcer Jesse Agler and color analyst Tony Gwynn Jr., beginning this season. He previously served in multiple sports broadcasting roles, including as Director of Broadcasting and voice of the Arizona Diamondbacks Double-A affiliate Amarillo Sod Poodles, host and segment producer for Learfield IMG College and freelance college sports play-by-play broadcaster heard on the Big Ten Network, NBC Sports and ESPN+.

"We are thrilled to welcome Sam Levitt as the new pre- and post-game host for Padres baseball on the Padres Radio Network," said 97.3 The Fan and The Padres Radio Network Brand Manager Adam Klug. "Sam has a wealth of experience and passion for baseball that will benefit Padres fans of all ages."

"I'm incredibly excited to join 97.3 The Fan and the Padres Radio Network," added Levitt. "Since I started broadcasting baseball as a college student and throughout my time in the minors, it's remained my goal to be part of a Major League broadcast team. I'm extremely grateful to both 97.3 The Fan and the Padres organization for believing in me. I look forward to covering a team that has World Series aspirations, while interacting with San Diego's outstanding fanbase on radio, social media and beyond."

Levitt's efforts helped him earn Ballpark Digest's "2021 Minor League Broadcaster of the Year" award. Other previous roles include TV and radio play-by-play broadcaster for the Houston Astros Double-A affiliate Corpus Christi Hooks from 2017 to 2018 and director of broadcasting and media relations for the Gateway Grizzlies from 2014 to 2016.
