News about Dontrelle Willis

With Apple TV+'s second season, Friday Night Baseball is expected to return to screens around the United States and around the world. The Texas Rangers will visit the Chicago Cubs on a day game, followed by the San Diego Padres' face the Atlanta Braves. Apple will have two bills in over 25 weeks with no local blackout limits. Both games will be played simultaneously most weeks, up from last year, when doubleheaders were available on the East and West coasts. Fans in 60 countries will be able to play the games, which were only available in 60 countries in the previous year. Unlike the previous season, an Apple TV+ subscription is required.

According to the New York Times, Announcers Katie Nolan and Melanie Newman will not be back for Apple TV's Major League Baseball coverage, but the streaming service is expected to recruit Fox Sports' Dontrelle Willis. In 2022, Nolan, a former ESPN and Fox Sports analyst and Newman, who also calls Baltimore Orioles games, joined Apple TV+ for its inaugural season of Friday night MLB games. Now, the Post's Andrew Marchand has announced that Willis, a former Marlins pitcher, will act as a game analyst, while Wayne Randazzo will return as a play-by-play announcer.
