Two days after announcing its broadcast pairing for the 2020 season, the Chatham Athletic Association introduced the summer’s beat reporting pair on Monday.

Andrew Crane, a sophomore at Syracuse University, and Roshan Fernandez, a freshman at Syracuse, will serve as the Anglers’ beat writers for the 2020 Cape Cod Baseball League season.

"Andrew and Roshan are smart, skilled, tenacious journalists and we're excited to welcome them to the team," CAA Media Consultant Dan D'Uva said. "Their work at The Daily Orange set them apart as being the most prepared, polished and innovative candidates we considered. Andrew and Roshan's prowess for uncovering meaningful stories and skill in the art of expression will transport, inform and entertain Anglers fans."

Additionally, Jake Klein, a freshman at the Loomis Chaffee School, joins as a Media Team assistant.

“As our media operation grows, we are particularly pleased to have the talents of someone with Chatham roots like Jake," D'Uva said. "His maturity, versatility and passion — along with his familiarity with the Anglers — will strengthen our group effort."

2020 Schedule

Crane and Fernandez will produce written and digital content — including features, game stories and previews — for the team's website, social media platforms, game-day stat sheets and other publications. Klein will assist all aspects of media team operations, from graphic design and video production to statistical research. The three join broadcasters Emmanuel Berbari and Josh Schaefer on Chatham’s 2020 Media Team.

The Anglers’ season begins June 13 when Chatham visits Falmouth, and the home-opener at Veterans Field is the next night against Orleans.
