MLB Network debuts drone technology for first 2022 Aztec baseball game

Aztec Baseball looks to open its season in Scottsdale, Arizona with participation in the 3rd annual MLB4 Tournament, taking on Texas Christian University in the first game of the season.

All games will be hosted at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick, the Spring Training home for both the Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies.

The game will be featured on MLB Network following the contest between California and Houston. In addition to SDSU’s MLB Network debut, the network will also debut new broadcast technology for the first time.

Using a drone in the game production and telecast, MLB Network plans to incorporate different viewpoints into the telecast, including flyovers above the field, following a batter around the bases after a home run, highlighting the pitcher as he walks to and from the mound, as well as the interior and exterior views of Salt River Fields and complex.
