Now introducing the starting lineup: Meet the new PA announcer for Atlanta Braves

After months of intense searching, competition and voting, the Atlanta Braves have announced their new public address announcer for the 2023 season.

Kevin Kraus, who has been the PA voice for the Gwinnett Stripers for the last 10 years, officially won the job Friday. Braves radio host Ben Ingram and Braves star pitcher Spencer Strider surprised Kraus with the announcement.

“Thank you so much. You’re going to make me ugly cry,” Kraus said. “This is a dream come true.”
