The 2025 season will mark Steven's 21st year in baseball and 18th in the minor leagues. Steven joined the Travelers prior to the 2017 season and has called Dickey-Stephens Park home ever since. He spent six years with the Travs' in-state rivals, the Northwest Arkansas Naturals, including winning a Texas League Championship in 2010. That was preceded by three years with the Idaho Falls Chukars. In between stints in professional baseball, he spent three years calling baseball for the University of Kansas on both TV and radio.
Outside of the Travelers season, Steven does play-by-play for football, basketball, early season college baseball, and any other sport that might appear on a television or internet stream. Highlights of his broadcasting career include calling games on a substitute basis for several organizations including the Kansas City Royals, Arkansas Razorbacks, and Oklahoma State Cowboys basketball. From 2008-2017, Steven was the radio voice of the University of Missouri-Kansas City Kangaroo basketball team, has called the NAIA Division 2 basketball championship on TV multiple times, and called numerous other sporting events at the high school, small college, and major college levels. A native of Lawrence, Kansas, Steven graduated from the University of Kansas where he was a student-manager for the Jayhawks basketball team. He and his wife, Katie, have four kids; Landon, Will, Millie and Hattie.
