The stage is set for the 2023 World Series as the National League Champion Arizona Diamondbacks and Corbin Carroll take on the American League Champion Texas Rangers and Adolis García.

Jon “Boog” Sciambi will take over as the national radio voice of the World Series. It makes Sciambi just the third ESPN Radio voice of the event as he follows Dan Shulman, who called the World Series for 12 years, and Jon Miller who called the event for 13 years. Sciambi, who calls Sunday Night Baseball on ESPN Radio and the MLB Wild Card Series, will be joined by ESPN MLB analysts Jessica Mendoza and Eduardo Pérez to form a new three-person booth.
