One would think that after 70 years of broadcasting Major League Baseball, the production of these broadcasts would be flawless by now. Yet, the paradox is that broadcasters seem to be straying from effective practices, leading to a worse overall experience. The fundamentals of the game and how to present it have remained unchanged, but there’s a noticeable decline in the quality of broadcasts, highlighting a troubling trend in executions that should be well-honed by now.
The essence of a baseball broadcast lies in capturing the on-field action with clarity and focus. An ideal view encompasses the pitcher, the plate, and the hitter, immersing the audience in the game. However, recent broadcasts have taken a turn towards excessive framing, with distractions such as advertising overshadowing core elements of the game. These decisions do not cater to the viewer’s desires for engagement and experiencing the nuances of America's pastime.
