Our Reading
The routine arrives with confidence.
Netflix takes over the Home Run Derby with a new cast of hosts and analysts, because who doesn’t love a good swing-based format? The event will feature eight participants, including some familiar names, and a pre-show that’s sure to be “lit.” Because what’s a sports event without a few Hall of Famers and a NFL legend thrown in for good measure? The broadcast will be a unique blend of sports and entertainment, because that’s what Netflix does best.
And in a shocking turn of events, the Home Run Derby will feature home runs. A lot of them. Possibly.
