Just watching this NBC baseball broadcast and it's ... excellent. They're talking about baseball, more baseball and a little inside baseball.
Good stories and insight from Orel Hershiser, Luis Gonzalez & Clayton Kershaw (who seems to know what every pitcher is throwing). Jason Benetti is fantastic.

My random MLB stat of the day: Among position players in 2025, Shohei Ohtani led with 14 appearances on the mound.

Four others appeared in at least five games as a pitcher.
