Elle Duncan reveals Netflix’s Home Run Derby strategy

Elle Duncan is heading into her first Home Run Derby broadcast on July 13, and she isn't there to be Netflix's version of Chris Berman. As she explains it, calling the actual swings — and home runs — isn't part of her assignment.

Duncan left ESPN in December to become Netflix's first full-time sports broadcaster, and the Derby is only her second live MLB event in the role after anchoring Opening Night in March. She laid out exactly where she fits into Netflix's plan for the broadcast on the Sports Media Watch podcast with Jon Lewis and Derek Futterman, describing a two-set format built specifically to keep her away from the play-by-play chair.
