“I couldn’t be more excited to return to Fredericksburg for the 2023 season,” Bach said. “I’m so thankful to Nick Hall, Robbie Perry, and the Silber Family for trusting me to take the reins of the FredNats broadcast and bring it to new heights. I can’t wait to re-engage with a community and fan base that I fell in love with in 2022. This season should be a memorable one both on the field and in the booth in Fredericksburg, and I’m grateful to be a part of it.”
