NBC Sports is expanding its baseball content lineup with a new digital series led by a Hall of Fame pitcher. CC Sabathia will headline MLB According to CC, a weekly video show produced by NBC Sports. The program debuted today with co-host Ahmed Fareed and a 30-minute episode covering early-season surprises, crossover storylines with The Masters, and Sabathia’s clubhouse experiences.
The show aims to blend analysis with personality-driven storytelling. Each episode will focus on major narratives across Major League Baseball while also highlighting standout performances and upcoming matchups.
Recurring segments will help define the format. CC’s Clubhouse will feature stories from Sabathia’s playing career. Meanwhile, Show Me Something will preview key weekend series and spotlight players to watch. NBC Sports is also leaning into what it calls “newstalgia,” mixing historical context with modern storylines.
Sabathia’s addition continues his growing role within NBC Sports’ baseball coverage. He recently appeared as an Inside the Pitch analyst on Sunday Night Baseball and will contribute throughout the 2026 season.
The 2025 Hall of Fame inductee brings a decorated résumé to the project. Sabathia won 251 games across 19 MLB seasons and earned six All-Star selections. He also ranks among the 20 pitchers in league history to surpass 3,000 strikeouts, finishing with 3,093.
His career included impactful stops in Cleveland, Milwaukee, and with the New York Yankees. A midseason trade to Milwaukee in 2008 became one of the most notable deadline deals in league history. Sabathia dominated down the stretch and helped push the Brewers into the postseason.
He followed that run with a championship season in New York. Sabathia played a key role in the Yankees’ 2009 World Series title and earned ALCS MVP honors. He later led the league in wins in consecutive seasons.
Off the field, Sabathia has remained active in baseball media and league initiatives. He previously contributed to MLB Network programming and now serves as a special assistant to the commissioner.
MLB According to CC will be widely distributed across NBC Sports platforms. Fans can watch via Peacock, the NBC Sports YouTube channel, and NBC Sports NOW. The show will also air on NBCSN and be available through podcast platforms.
