Andrew Belleson, who had been the Cubs’ public-address announcer since 2011, departed the team after the 2020 season.
Former PA announcer Paul Friedman was a “guest” doing the job for 15 games in April, and Mark McGill, who is the PA announcer for the South Bend Cubs at Four Winds Field, did the duties during the first homestand of May.
Now, per Russ Dorsey at the Sun-Times, the Cubs have made a permanent hire for the position. Jeremiah Paprocki will perform PA duties beginning Monday evening at Wrigley Field when the Cubs face the Nationals:
There’s going to be a new booming baritone voice heard around Wrigleyville and it belongs to 21-year-old Jeremiah Paprocki.
