McMurphy reports that Benetti will leave ESPN for FOX Sports and become the voice of the network's No. 2 college football broadcast team alongside Brock Huard.
Benetti, who is with ESPN now and is voice of the Chicago White Sox television broadcasts as well as Peacock's MLB Sunday Leadoff game, would join Brock Huard in the booth.
"Benetti is entertaining to watch. Whether you’re an old school follower of baseball and feel that batting average is still important, or a newer, metrics fan, he can appeal to you."
"I do want people to know that watching baseball through a different prism is a good thing. It’s always a good thing. Let different people comment on the game every once in a while."
"Brian Anderson of the Milwaukee Brewers, Jason Benetti of the White Sox, Gary Cohen of the Mets and Tom McCarthy of the Phillies are just a few of these guys that have pulled or are pulling double duty."
Borrell Associates projects that figure will climb considerably over the next four years as the industry undergoes what it describes as a "great reshuffling."
