Clayton Kershaw, Anthony Rizzo and Joey Votto have been hired as analysts for NBC when it returns to broadcasting Major League Baseball this year.
The network made the announcement during Sunday’s Super Bowl LX pregame show.
Kershaw, Rizzo and Votto will appear on pregame shows leading into “Sunday Night Baseball” games, depending on their schedules and availability. They also will be pregame analysts during coverage of the wild-card round games on NBC and Peacock.
All three have recently retired from playing. Kershaw, a three-time National League Cy Young Award winner in 18 seasons, retired last year after the Los Angeles Dodgers won their third World Series title in six seasons.
Rizzo played 14 seasons for three teams and caught final out of the 2016 World Series to give the Chicago Cubs their first MLB title since 1908. Rizzo, who retired last September, was also a three-time MLB All-Star selection and a four-time Gold Glove-winning first baseman.
