Matt Underwood (born May 10, 1968) is the play-by-play announcer for the Cleveland Indians telecasts on SportsTime Ohio and WKYC Channel 3. In his 12th season as a full time member of the Indians' broadcasting team, he joined the Indians telecasts in 2007 after seven seasons on the radio side.

He also served as pre-game host on radio from 1994-2000 and on television from 1997-2005.

Prior to joining the Indians broadcast team on a full time basis in 2000, Underwood spent 16 years at WEWS-TV 5 in Cleveland (ABC). Underwood joined WEWS as an associate sports producer after graduating from Baldwin-Wallace College in 1990. In December 1994, Underwood was named as a sports producer/reporter.

During this time, he also worked for WKNR Radio (then at 1220 AM) in a myriad of roles (update anchor, and weekend show host).

A year later he would become the weekend sports anchor at News Channel 5, and in November 1996 he became the station's sports director and weeknight 6 and 11 p.m. sports anchor, a job he held until 2000, when he became a full time member of the Indians' broadcasting team. [1]

Underwood is an Ashland, Ohio native who graduated from Baldwin-Wallace College in 1990. Underwood currently lives in Avon Lake, Ohio with wife Shelley and children Max and Devan.
