Hickory Crawdads Going Live: Rangers Fans Can Finally Stream High-A Games

Good news for Texas Rangers fans hungry for more baseball! This season, the Rangers’ High-A affiliate, the Hickory Crawdads, will be broadcasting all 66 home games live at LP Frans Stadium. This marks a significant step towards increased accessibility for fans who want to follow the next generation of Texas stars.

Here’s the exciting twist: The Crawdads are partnering with Pixellot to provide a fully automated video broadcast. This innovative system utilizes artificial intelligence and multiple camera angles to deliver a smooth viewing experience, automatically panning and cutting to the action. As a baseball fan, I’m eager to see how this AI-powered approach translates to game broadcasts.

How to Watch: To catch the Crawdads in action, you’ll need a subscription to MLB.TV. Since they hold the rights to all minor league streams, a standard MLB.TV subscription will grant you access to Hickory’s games. Additionally, fans can opt for separate MiLB.TV packages if they primarily want to follow minor league baseball.

A Long-Awaited Move: This decision to broadcast Crawdads games is a win for fans who have been clamoring for increased access to the farm system for years. Now, fans across the globe can witness the development of tomorrow’s big league stars, right from their living rooms.
