As New York Yankees pitcher Clarke Schmidt begins his windup, MLB Network analyst and former Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Chris Young makes a prediction: 'He gone go deep, yo.' An instant later, Los Angeles Angels two-way star Shohei Ohtani barrels up a sweeper that catches too much of the plate and sends it flying.

That wasn’t a guarantee. Players who transition into broadcasting after their playing days end are a mixed bag. Some have trouble explaining the intricacies of the game, some sound too rehearsed and struggle with the camera, and others spend their airtime telling you the game was better back when they played.

Sabathia isn’t a typical baseball broadcaster. He doesn’t normally appear in the booth and provide color commentary. He’s more reactionary and conversational, which is why MLB Network brought him on board for its MLB Tonight: Clubhouse Edition broadcasts starting in 2021. The broadcasts are looser and meant to simulate the organic conversations players might have in the dugout during games.

That's a refreshing perspective from a baseball broadcaster. More than other sports, baseball romanticizes its past. Fans sometimes bristle when Mike Trout gets compared to Mickey Mantle. For a long time, it seemed blasphemous to mention Shohei Ohtani and Babe Ruth in the same sentence. It can sometimes feel as though you’re not allowed to appreciate today’s superstars unless you pay adequate respect to yesterday’s greats.

"They build bullpens now, where starters don’t need to go deep into the game," he said."But you look at whose been winning the World Series and whose been going deep into the playoffs the past however many years — it’s always the team with the best starters."
