Jon “Boog” Sciambi and Chris Singleton have had stellar careers as MLB broadcasters, with over a decade of experience calling games together, and we are excited to bring their talents to MLB The Show to create an even more authentic gameplay experience. Our new commentators have also taken a moment to share what makes this experience special to them. Check out their thoughts below on what it’s like becoming part of the MLB The Show franchise!
How excited are you to be the new commentary team for MLB The Show 22?
Singy: “I can’t really express how excited I am to be part of the broadcast team for Sony Interactive Entertainment’s MLB The Show! Sony is a legendary brand and baseball is still America’s favorite pastime in my opinion. To have an imprint on one of the top video games in the world is something me and my family will always reflect on with great joy.”
Boog: “Working on MLB The Show 22 has been an absolute thrill and is certainly one the coolest and unique things I have done in my career. Partnering with Singy has made it extra special because I get to share the experience with a friend.”
What was the process like working with San Diego Studio to get your voices into the game?
Boog: “The San Diego Studio team has been incredible in their dedication and attention to detail; those guys made it fun and are a huge part of why the process was both successful and enjoyable.”
Singy: “Working with San Diego Studio over the past few years has truly been one of the most memorable experiences of my career. This isn’t easy work for any of us but we all became a family and enjoyed the grind together. The entire team loves the sport of baseball so much that oftentimes our recording sessions featured passionate “off air” discussions/debates about the sport that consumes us.”
