Baseball Tonight
Baseball Tonight is an American television program that airs on ESPN. The show, which covers the day's Major League Baseball action, has been on the air since 1990. Its namesake program also airs on ESPN Radio at various times of the day during the baseball season, with Marc Kestecher as host.
Baseball Tonight is also the title of a daily podcast hosted by Buster Olney with frequent appearances by Tim Kurkjian, Karl Ravech and others from ESPN and more places.
In 2017, daily airing of the show, other than its Sunday airing, was replaced by MLB Network's Intentional Talk, which stopped airing on ESPN2 in December 2018 From 2019 to 2025, Baseball Tonight aired on Sundays before Sunday Night Baseball, and during the week for major events such as the MLB All-Star Game, College World Series, MLB Postseason, MLB Trade Deadline and Winter Meetings, along with SportsCenter segments during the season.
With the loss of Sunday Night Baseball after the 2025 season, Beginning in 2026, Baseball Tonight will now air in various time slots throughout the week prior to any game on ESPN Networks.
On January 3, 2000, the segment "Web Gems" was coined and created by then-producer Judson Burch. The segment originally featured great defensive plays followed by viewer internet voting on the "web." The phrase "web gem" is now common vernacular in baseball broadcasts and circles to describe outstanding glove work.
In 2007, a new segment entitled "That's Nasty!" was introduced. The new segment featured top pitching performances of the day, including the best individual pitches. These clips often include extremely high velocity fastballs, 12–6 curveballs, or changeups that completely fool the opposing batters.
In 2013, Adnan Virk replaced Steve Berthiaume as one of the program's hosts, joining Karl Ravech.
Starting in April 2017 the weekday and Saturday editions of Baseball Tonight were replaced by the MLB Network-produced program Intentional Talk. In December 2018, four months before the deal to air Intentional Talk was to end in April 2019, the show stopped airing on ESPN2, with airings on MLB Network being unaffected. For the 2019 season, despite rumors of a return of the show daily, ESPN, just as they did the past two years, continued to only air Baseball Tonight sporadically throughout the season on Monday-Saturday, along with the weekly Sunday version Baseball Tonight: Sunday Night Countdown before Sunday Night Baseball.
