Kyle Brown, who was a director for the network and had worked there for a long time, di*d on June 11, 2023 after getting sick at the NCAA baseball super regional in Winston Salem, North Carolina. He was 42.
“A 16-year ESPN employee, Kyle was a deeply admired member of our production team—and highly accomplished,” ESPN shared in a statement, “having captured two Sports Emmy Awards while working a multitude of sports from baseball and basketball to Monday Night Football and college football.”
Sunday’s coverage of NCAA baseball on ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPNU began with a salute to Kyle. This was to honour all of his work for the company, from baseball and basketball to football.
“Kyle was a deeply admired member of our production team,” ESPN reporter Kris Budden said, “A former Ohio State pitcher, Kyle cherished the opportunities to have a career in sports. Kyle will be greatly missed.”

Added writer Ryan McGee, “Kyle Brown was a good man, proud Buckeye and an amazing maker of television. If you’re a sports fan who has consumed any ESPN over the last decade and a half then you have benefited from Kyle’s hard work. Hug your loved ones. Tomorrow is not guaranteed.”
