David Ortiz will return to Fox as a studio analyst for Major League Baseball’s 2019 postseason – nearly four months after he was shot in the back at a nightclub in the Dominican Republic.
The beloved slugger spent the majority of his 20-year playing career with the Boston Red Sox and retired in 2016. He joined the Fox broadcast as a guest analyst for the 2014 World Series and has been a staple of the network’s MLB coverage since. The three-time World Series champion has had some memorable moments on-air; such as when he and Alex Rodriguez recounted the 2004 American League Championship Series in 2018.
