NBC Sports named Dave Flemming as the play-by-play broadcaster for MLB Sunday Leadoff, a weekly traveling national telecast on NBC Sports Network and Peacock that typically begins at noon local time. His first assignment is this Sunday in Toronto, calling the Pittsburgh Pirates against the defending American League champion Toronto Blue Jays. Flemming has been with the San Francisco Giants since 2004, primarily on KNBR-AM/FM radio, while increasingly taking on television work as other Giants broadcast partners broadcast fewer road games. He has also worked with ESPN since 2010, including college sports, select MLB games, Little League World Series coverage, and World Series international telecasts since 2022, plus golf coverage including the PGA Championship.
"On Tuesday, NBC announced it had named Flemming as its play-by-play broadcaster for the "MLB Sunday Leadoff" games, a weekly traveling national telecast on NBC Sports Network and Peacock that typically starts at noon local time. Flemming's first game will be this Sunday in Toronto, calling the upstart Pirates taking on the defending American League champion Blue Jays."
""Dave is an elite play-by-play announcer whose knowledge and love for the game comes through in his storytelling and big-game calls for national and local audiences," NBC Sports Executive Producer Sam Flood said in NBC's news release. "We are excited to have Dave join our lineup beginning this weekend.""
""I'm excited to join NBC Sports' baseball coverage. I've really enjoyed NBC's approach to covering the sport I love so far this season and I'm very happy to be a part of it.""
"Flemming has been with the Giants since 2004 and is primarily heard on radio broadcasts on KNBR-AM/FM. But he's been calling more and more games on television as his longtime partners Mike Krukow, Duane Kuiper and Jon Miller all have decreased the number of games they broadcast on the road."
