ESPN has hired former Red Sox outfielder and University of South Carolina legend Jackie Bradley Jr. as a college baseball analyst.
Bradley, the 2018 American League Championship Series Most Valuable Player who spent nine partial or full seasons with the Red Sox out of his 11 years in the majors, will work as a studio and in-game analyst.
At South Carolina, he played on a pair of national championship teams, winning the 2010 College World Series Most Outstanding Player Award.
Bradley, who last played in the big leagues in 2023 with the Royals, will debut as part of the SEC Network’s baseball studio coverage Friday and Saturday.
