DAYTON, OHIO - As the Dayton Dragons open their Midwest League season on the road on Friday night in Grand Rapids, Michigan against the West Michigan Whitecaps (6:35 pm), Dragons fans can listen to the radio broadcast on FOX Sports 980 WONE on radio.

WONE has been the radio home for Dragons Baseball since 2011. Games can be heard at 980 on the AM dial.

Tom Nichols returns for his 17th season as the Dragons lead broadcaster. The 2025 season is Nichols' 38th year in professional baseball. He has broadcast over 4,500 minor league games since beginning his career in 1988.

In 2018, he received recognition from Ballpark Digest for "Outstanding Achievements in Minor League Baseball broadcasting." He called his first Major League game on the Cincinnati Reds Radio Network, an event that was featured in the New York Times, Sports Broadcast Journal, FOX Sports Ohio (now FanDuel Sports), and numerous other media outlets. He has worked at every level of Minor League Baseball (Triple-A, Double-A, High-A, Low-A, and professional independent), broadcasting for the Indianapolis Indians, Mobile BayBears, Fort Wayne Wizards, Peoria Chiefs, Kinston Indians, and Gary SouthShore RailCats. He is a Ball State University graduate and a native of Muncie, Indiana.

Patrick Geshan will join Nichols on most home broadcasts in 2025, returning for his third season with the Dragons after filling the same role with the team in 2023 and '24.
