## Resource

Cole Hamels, the Phillies’ 2008 World Series hero and former ace pitcher, is making his MLB Network draft debut—bringing hometown pride and elite pitching insight to the broadcast booth. With the draft happening right in Philly, Hamels’ deep knowledge and on-air experience (including recent NBC Sports Philadelphia games) make him the perfect voice for evaluating top pitching talent. MLB Network’s strategy to elevate draft coverage hits home with this move, while NBC will air the first hour and a half (first 10 picks), shifting to MLB Network for the rest. Peacock will stream the full draft, ensuring fans everywhere can follow the rise of baseball’s next stars—with Hamels calling the action.
