Zach began his professional broadcasting career last month with the Amarillo Sod Poodles, Arizona’s Double-A affiliate.
Zach Goodman with his dad, Rockies broadcaster Drew Goodman, after a Webster University game in 2024. A young Zach Goodman, approximately age 8, keeps score and practices his announcing in front of the Rockies game on TV at the family home in Greenwood Village.
The younger Goodman landed the job in Amarillo after a standout playing career as a catcher at Arapahoe and then Division III Webster University, where he was a four-year starter and finished as a team captain this spring. Zach broadcast games in high school and college, mostly football, basketball and volleyball at the latter, to set the stage for his minor-league debut.
By 1993, he was doing NFL games on NBC, and then he started a 10-year run as the Nuggets’ TV play-by-play man in ’94. The 13-time NSMA Colorado Broadcaster of the Year called both Nuggets and Rockies games for three seasons from 2002-04, before moving solely to baseball in 2005. Along the upbringing of all three, Drew’s presence was a constant, even with his demanding travel duties with the Rockies. Drew coached all of them, including serving as an assistant for the younger two at Arapahoe, where he still helps out. He incorporated them into Rockies road trips. There’s “a park or a spot of grass that I can point to in every city, just about, and go, ‘Yup, we had a catch there. Or we took groundballs over there.
The three Goodman sons were practically raised in the batting cage in the family’s barn in Greenwood Village. It was there that Drew ensured his sons were left-handed hitters, converting each of the natural righties at about 18 months old with their baseball futures in mind. So Drew became an emotional support for his father just as much as his father, an actor-turned-lawyer who Drew says gave him the “performance gene,” was for him.
“We have a similar style,” Zach said. “I’ve listened to a couple of my highlights, not that I have many yet, but I’ll catch myself saying, ‘Swung on and missed.’ Then I’ll watch the Rockies game and I’ll hear my dad say the exact same thing, in the exact same inflection. And I’ll be like, ‘Oh.’ There’s some stuff that I use that definitely sneaks in there subconsciously.”
“The word ‘nepotism’ is thrown around a lot in regards to me and Chris and Zach, and it was tough initially for me,” Stefan said. “Zach and I have been able to have real conversations about how to go about this, how to best make your own way.
