While the Game has been telecast nationally for most of its 26-year history, including every season since 1995, this will be the fourth time the Triple-A All-Star Game has aired on MLB Network since 2010.

On the TV side, the announcing team of Paul Severino, Darryl Hamilton, Jim Callis, and Sam Ryan will bring the action to viewers nationwide.

Returning for a second straight year handling play-by-play duties on the telecast will be Paul Severino, who regularly hosts the Emmy Award-winning MLB Tonight.

He currently appears across MLB Network’s programming as a studio analyst.

Joining Severino and Hamilton in the booth will be Jim Callis, the executive editor of Baseball America. Having covered the game for over 25 years, Callis is a regular contributor to the annual Baseball America Almanac and Baseball America Prospect Handbook.

The Emmy-Award winning Sam Ryan will serve as field reporter for her second consecutive Triple-A All-Star Game. The MLB Network studio host and reporter frequently appears on programming such as MLB Network Showcase game telecasts, MLB Network Strike Zone and Quick Pitch.
