Victor Rojas -
Victor Rojas returns to the television booth for his 11th season as the play-by-play voice of the Angels. Rojas will also join fellow broadcaster Mark Gubicza for an 11th season as an analyst for “Angels Live”, the Angels pre-and post-game shows. During the 2011 MLB playoffs, TBS welcomed Rojas as a play-by-play voice during the National League Divisional Series (Milwaukee vs. Arizona). Rojas joined the Angels broadcast team prior to the 2010 season after serving as a studio host for the MLB Network since its inception. Before joining MLB Network in late December 2008, Rojas spent five seasons (2004-08) as a member of the Texas Rangers television and radio broadcast teams, calling play-by-play as well as providing analysis. Rojas went to Texas after spending the 2003 season doing both play-by-play and analysis for Arizona Diamondbacks broadcasts. Prior to breaking into Major League broadcasting with the D-backs, Rojas spent two seasons calling television and radio play-by-play for the Newark Bears of the Atlantic League, where he was also hired as the team’s Assistant General Manager before becoming General Manager. A former pitcher in the Angels organization, Rojas’ career eventually led to coaching. The son of former Major League All-Star and Angels manager Cookie Rojas, Victor was on the Florida Marlins baseball staff in 1993 and served as pitching coach at Rio Grande in the Texas-Louisiana League in 1994. The Miami, FL native played his college baseball at the College of the Desert in Palm Springs, California, and Lewis-Clark State College in Lewiston, Idaho. Rojas resides in Trophy Club, Texas with his wife Kim and their three children.
