What happened to the FOX Sports MLB host’s voice? Fans watching Mets-Dodgers are worried

As FOX began its coverage of the 2024 NL Championship Series between the New York Mets and Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday, fans were treated to a quick recap of their paths and familiar studio banter from legends David Ortiz, Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez welcomed.

But the person who provides the overview and leads the discussion for the studio show? Many fans didn’t recognize his voice.

It was Matt Vasgersian, a familiar voice for MLB fans – he often hosts MLB Network games and does play-by-play announcements for the Los Angeles Angels. He was also previously a part of ESPN’s “Sunday Night Baseball.” His voice sounded different – ​​much deeper than fans were used to.

This is how some people reacted to X:

@TalkinBaseball_: Who are you and what did you do to Matt Vasgersian?

@BetMGM: That doesn’t sound like the same Matt Vasgersian that’s on TV right now

@BarstoolHubbs: Close your eyes and listen to this clip. No shot, you think it’s Matt Vasgersian talking

@mclovin__music: stg, they turned down his sound. But why? We all know his voice is naturally higher pitched – so what? It’s always electric, that’s what matters

@ToirtapB: Why does Matt Vasgersian sound like he’s trying to speak at 80% speed and two octaves lower than normal?

@CautiousRanger: I’m glad I wasn’t the only one. He sounds so strange
