ESPN MLB alternate presentations
ESPN has offered several Statcast-focused alternate presentations in the past few years, including ESPN’s coverage of the 2020 MLB Wild Card Series Presented by Hankook Tire on ESPN+ that featured both a live game and live whiparound show, Sunday Night Baseball in 2020, the T-Mobile Home Run Derby and MLB Wild Card in 2018 and 2019, and Baseball Tonight pre-event shows in 2019 and 2020.

The traditional Sunday Night Baseball Presented by Taco Bell game telecast airs simultaneously on ESPN. Play-by-play commentator Matt Vasgersian, World Series Champion and analyst Alex Rodriguez, and reporter Buster Olney call Sunday Night Baseball each week and will provide commentary for the highly anticipated Padres vs. Dodgers game.
