    BravesVision’s Wiley Ballard
    Apr 21 2026
    On this episode of Braves Country Convos, hosts Jori Palmer and Lauren Sadd sit down with BravesVision broadcaster Wiley Ballard for a wide-ranging and entertaining conversation that dives into both his personal journey and his passion for the game. Wiley shares how his love for sports first took shape—even if his own playing career peaked with roller hockey—and reflects on the moment he realized broadcasting could be his path. From being a self-described “theater kid” to learning how to prepare, ask the right questions, and develop his on-air voice, Wiley gives an inside look at the work that goes into the role. The conversation also explores his journey through Georgia Tech, working throughout college, and the importance of networking, timing, and persistence in breaking into the industry. Jori and Lauren also dig into Wiley’s career turning points—from his early jobs to his big breaks—and what it really takes to go from “cashier to reporter.” Plus, Wiley shares his thoughts on current Braves storylines, his deep love for Braves Country, and the influence of figures like Brian Snitker on his perspective of the game and life. It all wraps up with a fun rapid-fire segment, giving fans a glimpse of Wiley’s personality off the field—from favorite players to the most random fan interactions. Whether you’re an aspiring broadcaster or a die-hard Braves fan, this episode offers insight, inspiration, and plenty of laughs along the way.
