Notable Features:
Draft: If you’re using other Apple products, many of the broadcast elements of Apple TV+ – such as the grid graphics – look familiar and consistent. The clean and simple design aesthetic showcases the company’s classic “SF Pro” typeface.
cameras: The broadcasts use a “Megalodon” camera, which produces extremely high-resolution images with shallow depth of field. This creates sharp focus on the subject of the shot – a cinematic look that enhances the drama of the moment.
Built-in statistics: If you are a baseball and numbers fan, Friday Night Baseball has introduced a new feature that will keep you entertained throughout the game. The built-in statistics function, discreetly displayed in the lower right corner of the screen, presents constantly updated probability numbers on a pitch-by-pitch basis. The respective metric rotates and always takes into account the respective game situation. For example, what is the probability that the batter will produce an RBI when faced with a 2-1 pitch with first- and second-place runners and an out?
Tune tracker: Walk-up music is a way for hitters to show off their taste and connect with fans, and Friday Night Baseball takes that experience to the next level for viewers at home. When a home team batter steps onto the plate for the first time in the game, an Apple Music pop-up in the bottom right will identify their walk-up song.
Fresh perspectives: Apple TV+ broadcasts emphasize a new and diverse set of voices announcing the games. A crew consists of Melanie Newman (play-by-play), Russell Dorsey (analyst) and Tricia Whitaker (reporter), along with former MLB outfielder Chris Young (analyst). The other crew consists of Stephen Nelson (play-by-play) and another former outfielder, Hunter Pence (analyst), alongside Katie Nolan (analyst) and Heidi Watney (reporter).
