About Me
I’m Sam Lebowitz! I'm a sports broadcaster, host, and media relations professional. In 2024, I completed my second season as the broadcast and media relations assistant with the Erie SeaWolves, the Double-A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers. In two championship-winning years with the SeaWolves, I’ve called play-by-play on over 260 games including 50 as a solo, lead broadcaster in 2024. In addition to PxP, I’ve led pre- and post-game shows for each game, completed daily game notes, helped lead social media efforts, acted as a primary public relations contact, and assisted in sponsorship sales.
From Erie to Central New York to Massachusetts, broadcasting has taken me on a winding path in my career. I graduated from Syracuse University in 2022 summa cum laude with a degree in Broadcast and Digital Journalism and a minor in Sport Management.
Before my first taste of affiliated baseball with Erie, I spent a summer in the Cape Cod Baseball League in 2022 as the play-by-play voice of the Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox. I also broadcasted summer collegiate baseball in 2021 with the Syracuse Salt Cats of the New York Collegiate Baseball League. I’ve also published writing about professional baseball - Major and Minor League - since I was 17.
In my four years in Syracuse to amass as much on-air experience as possible. I was an active member of SU’s CitrusTV, the largest solely student-run TV station in the nation. I worked in sports as a reporter, analyst, and studio host. I anchored both live news shows and entertainment news shows. I also dipped a toe into producing and other behind-the-camera work. I used CitrusTV as a place to become the most versatile broadcaster I could be.
