My Top 10 play-by-play calls of 2022. A very special thank you to Felician University, New York Hoop Dragons, Danville Otterbots and The Basketball League(TBL) for making this year memorable. There were web gems, walk-offs, hot streaks and maybe even the dunk of the year. Check it out

On May 16, 2022, Jim Ferchland signed a summer league contract to be the baseball play-by-play voice of the Danville Otterbots in the Appalachian League. He is responsible for calling all home games, scheduling all-games on league’s streaming service and takes part in media relations duties.

I’ve assembled my best play-by-play calls in July 2022 with the Danville Otterbots in the Appalachian League. June was a fun month but July was better at American Legion Post 325 Field. Feedback is appreciated.
Here are some of my best calls in the month of June doing play-by-play for the Danville Otterbots in the Appalachian League. Through 23 games, Danville is 13-10 and 2nd in the East Division.

Jim is also the play-by-play broadcaster of the Felician Golden Falcons, a Division II school located in Rutherford, New Jersey. He was hired in October 2020 and called games for men’s/women’s basketball, men’s/women’s lacrosse, softball, volleyball, men’s/women’s soccer and baseball.
