Caitlin Clark offers play-by-play commentary while watching Phillies game amid MLB team's playoff push


Caitlin Clark has put her basketball talents on full display throughout her first season in the WNBA. 

After becoming the NCAA Division I all-time leading scorer, Clark was the first player off the board at the WNBA Draft in April. She went on to break several league records during her rookie campaign with the Indiana Fever.

While the Iowa native’s basketball prowess has been noticed by countless fans, she might also have another sports passion and talent that was relatively unknown until a video recently surfaced on social media.

Clark was taking in a Philadelphia Phillies game as the Major League Baseball regular season enters its final stretch. But, instead of just casually watching the action, she decided to provide some play-by-play commentary.

Clark’s Fever teammate, Lexi Hull, shared the lighthearted TikTok video of Clark in action as the Phillies took on the Milwaukee Brewers.

Some observers then floated the idea that Clark could have a future in a broadcasting booth. Whether Clark truly has any interest in one day pursing that career path remains to be seen. Even if she does, it would be a long way down the road as she likely has a long playing career ahead of her.

Following Saturday’s 6-3 loss to the Mets, Philadelphia holds a six-game lead over New York in the National League East division. If the Phillies ultimately clinch the NL East, it would mark the first time since 2011 that the team has been crowned division champions.

Clark finished the regular season averaging 19.2 points, 8.4 assists and 5.7 rebounds per game. She set the league’s single-season record for most overall assists. Connecticut Sun star Alyssa Thomas previously held the record of 316 assists.

After the Fever finished the 2023 season with 13 wins and failed to qualify for the postseason, Clark, Kelsey Mitchell and 2023 top draft pick Aliyah Boston helped boost Indiana to 20 wins. The productive season ended the Fever’s seven-season playoff drought.
