When they're not tuning in to the games themselves, baseball fans know where to turn for their nightly baseball fix. MLB Network's signature program, "MLB Tonight" presents complete coverage of all of the games, beginning with the first pitch on the East Coast and ending with the final out on the West Coast. The Emmy-winning studio show features highlights, live look-ins and breaking news, plus analysis from a rotating roster that includes former players Eric Byrnes, Al Leiter, Dan Plesac, Billy Ripken and Mike Lowell, and inside information men Tom Verducci, Jon Heyman, Peter Gammons and Ken Rosenthal. Greg Amsinger, Brian Kenny and Matt Vasgersian are among the hosts.

Baby, it might be cold outside, and the springtime sounds of bats hitting balls are months away. What better way for baseball fans to cure the winter blues than to gather around the "Hot Stove" and warm up to the news of the offseason? MLB Network has all the angles covered for all 30 teams, from trades and free agent signings to the juicy rumors that percolate throughout, especially at the annual Winter Meetings in December. A host of former players, including Joe Magrane, Al Leiter, Sean Casey and Dan Plesac, analyze the news, supplemented by insider information from journalists Jon Heyman, Tom Verducci and Peter Gammons, among others.

MLB Network counts down its version of the 20 greatest games played since about 1950. The network first came up with 50 games and a "blue ribbon panel" -- aided by fan votes -- whittled that to 20. Hosts Bob Costas and Tom Verducci dissect each game, and given the format, with each episode running at least one hour, there's plenty of time to delve into nuances such as pitch selection, defensive alignment, managerial moves and so on. Also making each episode must-see TV for longtime baseball fans is the ex-players and managers who join Costas and Verducci to provide insight. Bucky Dent, for example, talks about his famous home run in the 1978 American League tiebreak game, and Johnny Bench and Fred Lynn reminisce about Game 6 of the 1975 World Series, the No. 1 game on the list.

Sometimes, fans of America's national pastime might miss a day or two of their favorite sport due to pesky things like work, a wedding anniversary, or a child's high-school graduation ceremony. Rest easy, devotees of the diamond -- MLB Network has you covered. "Quick Pitch" not only provides complete highlights of each game from the previous day, but also presents a glimpse at upcoming contests, including pitching matchups.

The history of baseball has always involved numbers, from the amount of wins and losses recorded by teams to the batting average of the game's greatest hitters and the iconic digits sewn on their uniforms. This show uses numbers in a different manner, recalling various topics from the annals of the sport (both the grandiose and the sometimes embarrassing) and then counting down the best examples within the category. Subjects under scrutiny include the best fan moments, top ejections, best season finishes, biggest blunders and longest home runs.

Baseball enthusiasts are among the most dedicated fans in all of sports, so when they need the latest information to help them push their fantasy team into first place, or just want to keep abreast of current developments in Major League Baseball, this show is definitely for them. A live review of the day's biggest news stories, this series also includes behind-the-scenes peeks at batting practice, cutaways to games currently in progress, the latest trade rumors making the rounds, and the dreaded injury reports.

Hosted by Brian Kenny, "Top 10 Right Now" presents plenty of fodder for baseball fans to chew on when discussing the best current players, and as the title suggests, the series counts down MLB Network's version of who those players are, with each episode detailing a different position. There's also an episode that lists the game's top managers.

The hourlong weekday afternoon "MLB Now" presents the day's top stories in baseball by spanning the sport's cultural divide. Host Brian Kenny discusses the issues and provides analysis, with a bent toward modern analytics to prove his points. The series also features interviews with personalities throughout the game, and viewer opinions are welcome as well via social media polls.
