Daron Sutton


Daron Sutton (born October 21, 1969) is the former television play-by-play voice of Major League Baseball's Arizona Diamondbacks and Arizona State Sun Devils men's basketball. Sutton is also the son of former pitching great and Hall of Famer Don Sutton. Prior to moving to Arizona, he served for five years as the television voice of the Milwaukee Brewers, and prior to coming to Milwaukee in 2002, he was one of the radio voices of the then-Anaheim Angels, working alongside current Detroit Tigers television play-by-play broadcaster Mario Impemba. Sutton replaced play-by-play voice Matt Vasgersian (who left to become the TV voice of the San Diego Padres).

While working in Milwaukee, he also began broadcasting Milwaukee Panthers men's basketball games, a job he continues to this day. Sutton had previously expressed that it has been his career dream to work in Milwaukee, having spent some of his teenage years living there during the time his father pitched for the Brewers.

Daron had the opportunity to work alongside his father as a member of the Atlanta Braves broadcast team from 1997 to 1999, including hosting pre-game and post-game shows and play-by-play work for Braves telecasts on Fox Sports Net South. While working in Atlanta, he also broadcast many Southeastern Conference sporting events, including basketball, gymnastics, swimming, and track and field. He graduated from Auburn University-Montgomery in 1992 with a degree in communications. In 2003, Sutton received a Chicago/Midwest chapter Emmy Award for Outstanding Achievement for Individual Excellence on Camera. He also was nominated two other times (1999 and 2004) for regional Emmy Awards in similar capacities.
