The league’s MLB Network will produce the YouTube broadcasts.
Scott Braun and Yonder Alonso will handle announcing duties, and MLB Network’s Siera Santos will host a 30-minute pregame show before each contest. Games will also have a live chat feature with commentary from YouTube creators and in-game polls.
Major League Baseball continues to hit to all fields with its streaming partnerships.
The league has renewed a deal with YouTube to carry 15 exclusive games on the platform this season. The renewal means YouTube will stream MLB games for a fourth consecutive season; the first contest of 2022 will be a Washington Nationals-Colorado Rockies matchup on May 5.
The renewal of the YouTube deal follows other streaming pacts MLB has made with Apple TV+ — which has weekly doubleheaders on Fridays — and Peacock, which will stream games on Sundays starting May 8. MLB also has traditional TV deals with Fox Sports, ESPN and Turner Sports along with clubs’ own regional deals.
