Karbach (Reading Fightin Phils)

CLEARWATER THRESHERS broadcaster KIRSTEN KARBACH is moving up the PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES minor league system to the Class AA EASTERN LEAGUE READING FIGHTIN PHILS as Director of Public/Media Relations and Radio Broadcaster.

KARBACH has been with the Class A FLORIDA STATE LEAGUE THRESHERS since 2013 and was named FSL Broadcaster of the Year for 2018; she also worked for MINOR LEAGUE BASEBALL as Communications Assistant in 2017-18.

"KIRSTEN brings with her excellent experience and a passion for the game of baseball," said FIGHTINS GM SCOTT HUNSICKER. "She is in a unique position relative to our 2019 R-PHILS team, in that she called all the games for the CLEARWATER THRESHERS for several years, and therefore knows more about the prospects ascending from CLEARWATER to READING than any of us here in READING do. We are very excited to add KIRSTEN to our front office staff, and we look forward to her joining our R-PHILS family."

"I am thrilled to be joining such a well-established and successful organization in the READING FIGHTIN PHILS," said KARBACH. "READING holds a significant baseball history and a tremendous fan base, and I cannot wait to get started."

KARBACH, who will call the FIGHTINS with GREGG CASERTA on BEASLEY Sports WTEL-A (610 SPORTS)/PHILADELPHIA, replaces MIKE VENTOLA, who moved up another level and a few miles east to the PHILLIES' Class AAA INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE affiliate, the LEHIGH VALLEY IRONPIGS.
