Local TV studio host Tim Neverett was named the new play-by-play announcer for the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday.

Neverett, the pregame and postgame studio host for Rockies games on FSN Rocky Mountain last season, joins current play-by-play announcer Greg Brown and analysts Steve Blass, Bob Walk and John Wehner to complete the club's five-person broadcast team.

Neverett has more than 24 years of broadcasting experience, including the past four years at FSN. He has done play-by-play for the Rockies; college football, basketball and hockey; lacrosse; arena football and track and field. He was Versus Network's national college basketball play-by-play man and was one of the original hosts for the mtn., the Mountain West Conference sports network.

Neverett also has worked as a weekend talk show host for the nationally syndicated Sporting News Radio Network, where his show was heard on over 160 stations nationwide.

He began his baseball broadcasting career in 1985 with Pittsburgh’s Double-A affiliate in the Eastern League. At 19, he called radio play-by-play of Nashua Pirates games, which led to more innings and ultimately a schedule of games that season.

    Darn, why couldn't the Pirates have hired Goodman or Fraizer?
