Playoff-bound Caitlin Clark took a break from basketball to try her hand at announcing during a recent Major League Baseball game, a moment shared by her Indiana Fever teammate, Lexie Hull. The funny clip, featuring Clark&#8217;s commentary on the Milwaukee Brewers&#8217; 2-1 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies, quickly went viral on TikTok.
&nbsp;
In the bottom of the fourth inning, Clark began her play-by-play with enthusiasm: &#8220;And that ball is hit to the shortstop,&#8221; she said with a chuckle. &#8220;Rojas throws over to first base and that&#8217;s not going to be enough. Infield single, William Contreras.&#8221;
&nbsp;
Though she may have mixed up Phillies shortstop Trea Turner and centerfielder Johan Rojas during the call, Clark remained undeterred, continuing to showcase her playful side. Her commentary brought a lighthearted touch to the game, demonstrating her versatility beyond the basketball court.

Clark bragged that she&#8217;s a good commentator, so teammate Lexie Hull put her on the spot
&nbsp;
&#8216;Bottom fourth,&#8217; Clark said, her voice quivering slightly as Hull giggled in the background. &#8216;Score of 1-0 Phillies. This brings someone to the plate… Here comes the 0-1 pitch. Low, outside.&#8217;
&nbsp;
Clark didn&#8217;t just stick to the game action. She commented on Phillies ace Aaron Nola wearing &#8216;sketchers,&#8217; and later was quick to reveal a mistake.
&nbsp;
&#8216;And a swing and a miss, for the second strikeout of the inning,&#8217; she said. &#8216;Nola gets out of it after the lead runner gets on.&#8217;
&nbsp;
Slightly embarrassed, Clark turned to the camera and confessed: &#8216;Might have been the second batter. I&#8217;m not sure.&#8217;
&nbsp;
Once again, Clark forged ahead, informing her audience that they were entering the &#8216;top of the fifth&#8217; following a commercial break.
&nbsp;
&#8216;We&#8217;ll be back,&#8217; she said, by which point her commentary had devolved into laughter.

Caitlin Clark recently showcased her announcing s𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁s during a Milwaukee Brewers vs. Philadelphia Phillies game, a fun challenge sparked by her Indiana Fever teammate, Lexie Hull. Clark admitted to Hull that she sometimes commentates games, prompting Hull to encourage her to try it out live.
&nbsp;
&#8220;I told [Hull] that sometimes I&#8217;ll just commentate some games, so she said, &#8216;Alright, let&#8217;s do it right now,'&#8221; Clark explained to reporters. She didn&#8217;t realize Hull was recording until she was well into her commentary, but she found the experience enjoyable.
&nbsp;
When asked why she chose to commentate a Phillies-Brewers game, Clark noted, &#8220;I&#8217;ve been following the Phillies, so I kind of know some of their players and stuff.&#8221; Her boyfriend, Connor McCaffery, is a devoted Philadelphia fan, adding to her interest.
&nbsp;
Reflecting on the challenge, Clark said, &#8220;That&#8217;s a hard gig. I was out of breath and exhausted. Shoutout to all the commentators out there.&#8221; She humorously acknowledged the slower pace of baseball, stating, &#8220;In baseball, there&#8217;s a lot of dead time, so you need to find random things to talk about. I was talking about his shoes, talking about random stuff. A little different than basketball.&#8221; Her playful commentary has resonated with fans, highlighting her versatility beyond the basketball court.

Caitlin Clark, while not a diehard baseball fan, has developed an affinity for a few teams over the years. Growing up in Iowa, she grew up around the Chicago Cubs&#8217; Triple-A affiliate and recently had the chance to visit the New York Yankees&#8217; dugout in the Bronx.
&nbsp;
&#8220;My boyfriend grew up a really big Phillies fan, so I kinda had to,&#8221; Clark shared. &#8220;I still like the Cubs, I like the Yankees. I&#8217;m not like a diehard any baseball team&#8230; I liked the Chiefs before the Chiefs were really good too, so I&#8217;m not a bandwagoner either.&#8221;
&nbsp;
As Clark shifts her focus back to basketball, the Indiana Fever are gearing up for their playoff run. They will open their series on Sunday at 3 PM in Connecticut, facing off against the favored Suns in Game 1 of the first round.
&nbsp;
Meanwhile, her boyfriend, Connor McCaffery, is preparing for his first season as an assistant men&#8217;s coach at Butler University in Indianapolis, marking an exciting time for both in their respective careers.
