The Phillies have agreed to a five-year extension with radio play-by-play voice Scott Franzke, reports CBS Philly.

Franzke will open his 11th season of play-by-play radio broadcasting in 2017; he has been with the Phils for 12 years.

“We couldn’t be happier to extend our relationship with Scott,” said David Buck, the Phillies’ senior vice president of marketing and advertising sales. “He and Larry Andersen have been entertaining Phillies fans for over a decade and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.”
