From the Field to the Studio: Kershaw, Rizzo and Votto Join NBC as MLB Analysts

During Sunday's Super Bowl pregame show, NBC announced hiring Clayton Kershaw, Anthony Rizzo and Joey Votto as analysts for its MLB return this year.
Historically, NBC, a legacy broadcaster, participated in the Baseball Network and aired playoff broadcasts 1996–2000.
Votto, who spent 17 seasons with the Cincinnati Reds and was 2010 NL MVP, retired in 2024.
NBC plans to integrate Kershaw, Rizzo, and Votto as pregame analysts for Wild Card coverage, with Bob Costas and Ahmed Fareed hosting and Aaron Judge featured in promotional spots airing during the Super Bowl and Winter Olympics.
The early schedule includes a debut on March 29 with Guardians vs. Mariners, and the first NBC Sunday night game on April 12.
