Scott Franzke

American sportscaster (born 1972)

Scott Franzke (born March 6, 1972) is an American sportscaster and radio play by play announcer for the Philadelphia Phillies.

Franzke was born in Dallas on March 6, 1972. In 1994, he graduated from Southern Methodist University in University Park, Texas with a degree in broadcast journalism.

In 2006, he was hired by the Philadelphia Phillies to take over those same duties when Tom McCarthy was hired away from the Phillies by the New York Mets, their National League Eastern Division rivals. McCarthy returned to the Phillies broadcasting team in 2008. In 2007, Franzke assumed more play by play duties, replacing Scott Graham in the broadcast booth, turning over pre and post game duties to Jim Jackson. In 2008 and the first month of the 2009 season, Franzke called play by play in innings 1 3 and 5 9 with Andersen, while Harry Kalas joined Andersen for play by play in the fourth. After the death of Kalas, Franzke assumed play by play duties for all nine innings for the remainder of the 2009 season. Until 2020, Franzke called innings 1 3 and 6 9 during home games (with Jackson taking over for innings 4 5) while continuing to call all nine during away games and home games when Jackson was unavailable due to his work as the television play by play voice of the Philadelphia Flyers. Beginning in 2021, Franzke once again called all nine innings for every game. On February 13, 2023, the Phillies announced they reached a long term deal with Franzke after the expiration of his contract at the end of the 2022 season.

Franzke and his wife, Lori, have three children.
