Dave Flemming Joins NBC Sports as the network’s latest MLB Play-By-Play Voice. Flemming, a 23-year Giants radio veteran, is joining the network’s MLB Sunday Leadoff coverage on Peacock and NBC Sports Network.
What We Know: Flemming debuts this Sunday calling the Blue Jays vs. Pirates at noon ET. He spent over two decades as San Francisco’s lead radio voice on KNBR. Additionally, he has called three World Series, Matt Cain’s perfect game, and Barry Bonds’ record-tying 755th homer. Flemming is the play by play voice for the MLB International telecast of the World Series since 2022.
What They Said: Sam Flood, NBC Sports Executive Producer “Dave is an elite play-by-play announcer whose knowledge and love for the game comes through in his storytelling and big-game calls for national and local audiences. We are excited to have Dave join our lineup beginning this weekend.”
Dave Flemming “I’m excited to join NBC Sports’ baseball coverage. I’ve really enjoyed NBC’s approach to covering the sport I love so far this season and I’m very happy to be a part of it.”
What Remains Unclear: Contract terms are unknown by NBC Sports Network/Peacock. Also, how Flemming would balance the role with his other roles with the San Francisco Giants among others. Furthermore, it’s unknown whether NBC plans additional play-by-play hires to round out its roster in the network’s return to MLB coverage.
What It Means: NBC landed an experienced, respected voice with deep baseball credibility. Flemming brings legitimacy to NBC/Peacock’s growing MLB footprint. Moreover, the ability to call several different sports adds depth to what the network could utilize Flemming with in the very near future.
