With this year\u2019s draft taking place in Philadelphia, the stars aligned to add Hamels to their broadcast. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cWhen we started brainstorming months ago, we quickly thought of Cole, given his decorated career with the Phillies and being a first-round pick,\u201d Roenbeck said. \u201cWe\u2019ll go to him early and often for pitching insights, relying on his unique perspective, which will only enhance our broadcast.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Hamels is the only new addition to MLB\u2019s Network\u2019s draft coverage, which will be hosted by Greg Amsinger and feature analysis by Mark DeRosa, Harold Reynolds, and former Colorado Rockies general manager Dan O\u2019Dowd.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re beyond excited to have Cole part of our draft team,\u201d Amsinger said, noting Hamels\u2019 \u201cdraft experience and pitching expertise will take our show to the next level.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Hamels is in his second season as a part-time Phillies announcer on NBC Sports Philadelphia, where he\u2019s called four games so far this year. He\u2019s expected to broadcast six to eight games, taking over a portion of the schedule given up this year by Hall of Famer Mike Schmidt, but the network would love to have more. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cCertainly, we would love to have him every weekend,\u201d Alexandra Matcham, the vice president of content for NBC Sports Philadelphia, told The Inquirer in March. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Hamels won\u2019t be the only Philly addition.
