MLB The Show prep work
While preparing for her big 2019 debut, Watney admitted that being part of the game wasn’t easy. She revealed on her Twitter page that she was “surprised at how much work, creativity and really cool technology goes into the making of the game.”
Watney confirmed that she would be a sideline reported on her Twitter page when she answered a question from a fan. Watney was asked if she would be a “reporter? Or on a highlight show?” She emphatically replied “Sideline reporter!”
Preparation to add Watney looks like it took some time.
From having numerous dots on her face to being surrounded by multiple cameras, getting on The Show takes time. Just like the players, sideline reporters have a long process as well. Nevertheless, it looks like Watney enjoyed every minute of it!
