He’s always a guy trying to get a little bit better and move the needle on adjustments he needs to make,” sHe takes a lot of pride in hitting for average. I think it means a lot to him.”
The reality is, over time, you haven’t seen that many really tall people be great hitters,”There’s a great advantage if you can figure it out and become a good hitter, because you have strength and leverage that smaller guys don’t. But it is a testament to how good he is at his craft.”

It’s unbelievable how consistent he is,“Guys are throwing 100 [mph] every day. It’s hard. It’s really hard. And to do it the way he does it -- it’s not a soft .300, either. We always say guys hit a soft .300. He’s hitting an immaculate .300.”

I just think trying to be a good hitter is infectious. It’s contagious,”One hit leads to another, and that equals more winning.”

The Kansas City native was drafted by his hometown team, the Royals, in 1981. He returned to the Royals in 1993, and went on to win the American League Cy Young Award in 1994.
In addition to his position as an analyst on ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball, Cone serves as an analyst on the YES Network and hosts a pitching podcast, Toeing the Slab with David Cone.Veteran Major League Baseball player and coach Eduardo Pérez was named to ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball team in 2022. He serves as an analyst on ESPN’s exclusive, national Major League Baseball game of the week alongside five-time World Series Champion David Cone and play-by-play voice Karl Ravech.
Pérez has been an analyst on the Baseball Tonight: Sunday Night Countdown team and Béisbol Esta Noche on ESPN Deportes, and regularly appeared as an analyst during Monday Night Baseball and Wednesday Night Baseball telecasts. He was previously an analyst at ESPN from 2006 through 2010 and returned to ESPN in 2014.
Pérez has also been a signature analyst in ESPN’s international MLB game coverage, calling historic games in Cuba, Japan, Puerto Rico and Mexico. He served as an analyst in ESPN’s KBO League 2020 regular season coverage. Pérez has also been an analyst in ESPN’s innovative, data-driven Statcast alternative viewing experiences that surround signature MLB events such as the Home Run Derby and Wild Card game.
Pérez served as bench coach of the Houston Astros (2013) and hitting coach of the Miami Marlins (2011-12).

Robert “Buster” Olney is the reporter for ESPN’s exclusive Sunday Night Baseball telecasts and the host of the popular Baseball Tonight with Buster Olney podcast. He is also a senior writer for ESPN.com. The veteran baseball insider joined ESPN in June 2003 to cover the sport for all ESPN entities, including ESPN Radio, ESPNEWS and SportsCenter.
Olney’s two favorite events he has covered for ESPN are the 2014 and 2016 postseasons. “Particularly,” he said, “the historic performances of Madison Bumgarner.”
Olney began covering baseball in 1989 as the Nashville Banner’s beat reporter for the Triple-A Nashville Sounds. He later covered the San Diego Padres for the San Diego Union-Tribune (1993 – 1994) and the Baltimore Orioles (Baltimore Sun, 1995 – 1996). He arrived at ESPN after six years at the New York Times covering the Mets (1997) and the Yankees (1998 – 2001).
Olney realized he wanted to build a career around sports writing when Red Smith, a Pulitzer Prize winning sports columnist for the New York Times, came and spoke at his high school.
“When I was 15, I had just started to figure out that I wasn’t going to be able to play power forward for the Lakers at 5-foot-7 3/8, nor was I going to be the second baseman for the Dodgers,” Olney said. “As Red told stories, it was apparent how much he loved his job—and immediately, I was inspired, because I loved sports, loved to write and possessed a curiosity about people. Within a couple of weeks, I started writing for my high school paper, and knew what I wanted to do.”
Olney has also authored the Times’ bestseller, The Last Night of the Yankee Dynasty: The Game, the Team, and the Cost of Greatness (HarperCollins 2004), a book about the Paul O’Neill/Tino Martinez Yankees’ dynasty of 1996 – 2001.
Olney also ranked in the Associated Press Game Story Top 10 from 1996 – 1998.
His favorite childhood sports memory comes from a special day with his uncle: “When I was 11 years old, my Uncle Bob arranged for me to see a playoff game at Fenway Park — Game 1 of the American League Championship Series, with Boston’s Luis Tiant on the mound against the dynasty Athletics, 1975,” Olney described. “But the great treat for me was that I got to watch the game sitting next to Uncle Bob’s friend — Pee Wee Reese, who had played for my favorite team, the Dodgers. I have always wished that I knew enough about Pee Wee’s relationship with Jackie Robinson that I had asked him about it. But it was an incredible experience, and I still have the scorecard pages from that day, with Pee Wee’s autograph.”
A native of Randolph Center, VT, Olney graduated from Vanderbilt University in 1988 with a degree in history.
Veteran ESPN commentator Karl Ravech is the voice of Sunday Night Baseball, ESPN’s exclusive, national Major League Baseball game of the week, calling games alongside analysts Eduardo Perez and David Cone and reporter Buster Olney.

He has also been the voice of ESPN’s Home Run Derby telecast since 2017.
Since 2006, Ravech has provided commentary for ESPN and ABC coverage of the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa. In 2011, he added the Little League World Series Championship games and the College World Series to his yearly schedule. During the winter, Ravech is a play-by-play commentator on ESPN’s college basketball telecasts and has called the SEC basketball tournament since 2017.
Ravech has also anchored ESPN’s college basketball studio wraps operation. Additionally, in the fall of 2000, Ravech followed Tiger Woods’ quest for the Grand Slam while hosting ESPN’s golf coverage at Pebble Beach, St. Andrews and Valhalla.
In November of 1998, Ravech was playing a pickup game of basketball with friends from ESPN when he noticed a sharp pain in his chest. After receiving medical attention, the doctor informed Karl he had experienced a heart attack at the age of 33.
“That experience was a wake-up call,” said Ravech. “Now, through exercise and proper diet, my heart is as strong as a professional athlete. I run every day. Who knows why these things happen, but it changed me for the better.”
Prior to joining the network, Ravech served as the weekend sports anchor/reporter at WHTM-TV in Harrisburg, Pa. (1990-93). His assignments included the 1992 Senior U.S. Open golf tournament, Harrisburg Senators (Washington Nationals’ Double-A affiliate), and MLB spring training. He was nominated for a local Sports Emmy in 1990 and 1991.
