Ryan Zurn, the 10-year-old PA announcer for LMBaseball20 home games, handles his job with the professionalism of someone much older. 'He's wise beyond his years,' his father said. 'He's like a 59-year-old man reading the newspaper with a cup of coffee.'
The young voice on the public address system at La Mirada High baseball games makes you turn your head to see if the voice matches the person.Ryan Zurn, the 10-year-old son of head coach Jimmy Zurn, handles the job with the professionalism of someone much older.
“He’s wise beyond his years,” his father said. “He’s like a 59-year-old man reading the newspaper with a cup of coffee. His idea of a birthday is him and five adults at Chili’s.” He performs his job so effectively you wonder if he has a future as an announcer. His voice is confident and clear. He pronounces names correctly. At the end of innings, he recaps what happened with the precision of a computer. At the same time, his young friends gather and eat popsicles and drink sodas next to the snack stand. He stays focused and embraces the responsibility entrusted in him.“I’m just thinking, ‘Don’t think of all the people there.
He’s announced every La Mirada home game for nearly two years. He’s got a baseball IQ for either playing or announcing. It’s great that his parents trust him with such a public responsibility at a young age. He’s no homer, either. He announces with fairness, though La Mirada players’ names receive a little more energy in his voice. He stays focused on his job for seven innings.
