The 2024 Major League Baseball season is underway, ushering in that special time of year when we appreciate what’s new while admiring what feels familiar. That’s true for the players on the field and the broadcasters in the booth as well as the graphics on your television screen.
Baseball is all about simple pleasures. For those of us who are a bit weird about sports media and broadcasting, that includes the graphics and scorebugs that appear during games and (presumably) help us keep track of what’s happening. Sometimes those graphics get tweaked, sometimes they evolve, and sometimes they get complete overhauls. So we always like to check in to see what the most recent incarnations look like, not to mention how the different broadcast partners finalize the look, feel, size, and placement of their scorebugs.
Below, you’ll find the scorebug being used by every current MLB broadcaster, including linear networks and streaming services. You’ll see a lot of overlap thanks to Bally Sports (as they’re known for now), NBC Sports, and MLB Local Media, but there are quite a few unique looks out there as well. We’d be curious to know which one you like (or hate) the most.
