Testimonials

“

Harrison is very professional in his work. He comes to practices to meet and learn about the players and coaches. He asks pre-game questions which he uses in his broadcasts and compiles his own stat/story byline on each player to which he can reference during the game. His voice is very clear, he understands the game well, and just does a first-rate job in reporting the game and interesting facts/stories.

Bob Babb

Head Coach, Johns Hopkins Baseball

Harrison Swartz is easily one of the best broadcasters I have ever had the chance to work with. I met him at Johns Hopkins where he was the broadcaster for the baseball team, and I was the SID. He showed up to our first game hours early with thorough notes and stats on both teams. He proceeded to go to both coaches and get more information and go over pronunciations to ensure his broadcast would be top-notch. I knew from that moment I'd be working with one of the best broadcasters who would not just elevate the broadcast but make me elevate my work with the program as well. His preparation makes him a consistent professional, and he ensures every broadcast is neutral and fair to both teams. If you listen to any of his games, you will never know what team he officially works for. He ensures he is well-versed on both teams and gives every broadcast his all.

Harrison has proven to be a valuable member of our broadcast team. He is diligent in his preparation for our broadcasts, taking the time to know the back-story of our players and coaches and doing the same about our opponents. He has done extensive research on the history of our program to better prepare for his role, has an excellent understanding of the nuances of the game and goes above and beyond to ensure that the experience of our viewers is all that it can be.

Harford Community College is blessed to have a talent like Harrison Swartz as part of our broadcast and announcing team. Harrison has a voice that commands attention and elevates the game day presentation to an exceptional level. He is the ultimate professional that does the extra research, provides valuable constructive feedback, and consistently communicates with our administration. He loves what he does! Harrison's skills and experience allows us to branch out and explore more creative content and marketing opportunities for our athletic department. I look forward to collaborating with Harrison on future projects and grow our athletic programs.

I was the very first one to recognize his talents. Harrison enrolled at the Broadcasting Institute of Maryland (BIM) immediately following high school and quickly asserted himself as a self-confident and well-educated young man. He was passionate about sports broadcasting and prepared for classroom and field work unlike any other student. Part of sports broadcasting is preparation, and, in that regard, he was second to none. He spent hours reviewing statistics or trends and conveying that information in easy-to-understand terms for the listener. In my 19 years at BIM, Harrison is easily among the top 1% of the nearly 700 students I taught in my career. Today, he possesses a multitude of skills, and I strongly endorse him for any task without hesitation or reservations.

I was fortunate to spend a full baseball season in the press box with Harrison Swartz and as much as he was reliable and prepared, he was every bit as much knowledgeable and entertaining. I spent five seasons watching NCAA Division III baseball broadcasts and now four more at the NCAA Division I level, and Harrison is as good, if not better, than any play-by-play broadcaster I've listened to. Harrison Swartz made me a better Sports Information Director and will always be my first option when I'm looking for someone to call the action on a baseball diamond!

As someone who has watched more D-III baseball broadcasts than 99% of people on earth, I can confidently say that Harrison's work broadcasting Johns Hopkins Baseball represents the gold standard for what the job entails with regards to preparation, enthusiasm, and play-by-play on a consistent basis. The work he puts in to ensure he is well-versed in every team he is calling a game for - not just the Blue Jays - does not go unnoticed. He demonstrates a rare commitment to delivering a quality broadcast for anyone that tunes in, while also routinely offering valuable insight into the Johns Hopkins program he knows best.
