Hi, I'm Jaden Taylor


I am a play-by-play broadcaster and journalist at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communications at Arizona State University.

This upcoming spring and summer, I will be the play-by-play voice of Phoenix College Baseball, the Kalamazoo Growlers of the Northwoods League, and a voice for Arizona State Softball and Baseball.

I currently am and will continue to be a talent statistician, production runner, and parabolic-mic operator for ESPN and the Pac-12 Network

I love the interesting nuggets of information and little puzzle pieces that bring a great story together. No matter if it's a written feature or the layout of a production setup, being able to have all of the behind-the-scenes things fit perfectly is always a rewarding experience.

I have extensive skills in writing, live broadcasting production, and sports commentary. I am hoping to grow my ability as a play-by-play broadcaster, sports reporter, technical producer, and multimedia journalist.
