Apple TV+ is returning its broadcast crew from the past season, with Wayne Randazzo (play-by-play), Alex Faust (play-by-play), Dontrelle Willis (analyst), Ryan Spilborghs (analyst), Tricia Whitaker (sideline reporter), and Heidi Watney (sideline reporter) leading the coverage. 

The pregame and postgame shows will include Lauren Gardner, Xavier Scruggs, and Russell Dorsey, and will be held live at various stadiums throughout the season. 

As an alternative to the Apple TV+ announcers, fans will also be able to listen to the participating teams' radio feeds during the broadcast. 

Apple TV+ also will air a whiparound show called "MLB Big Inning" on weeknights in the U.S.
