Melanie Newman is going to be extra busy this baseball season. In addition to her work with MASN covering the Baltimore Orioles, it was announced today that she is now a part of MLB Network.
She will be a part of Apple TV+’s Friday Night Baseball coverage, which is produced by MLB. She will also host studio shows on the network.
“Melanie is a terrific broadcaster, who we’ve thoroughly enjoyed working with over the last year,” said Marc Caiafa, MLB Network’s Senior Vice President of Production, said in a press release. “Having her officially on our team contributing to our programming makes us that much stronger as we start a new season.”
The network has been busy adding talent this offseason. The addition of Melanie Newman comes after announcing that Ruben Amaro, Jr., A.J. Andrews, Alex Avila, Ariel Epstein, Hannah Keyser, Keiana Martin, Cameron Maybin, Jake Peavy, Hunter Pence, Bo Porter, Siera Santos and Xavier Scruggs had all joined the network already.
“I’m thrilled to be expanding my role at MLB Network and adding the Friday night games on Apple TV+ to my Orioles work,” said Newman. “These opportunities are very exciting – a dream come true, and I can’t wait to get started.”
