Sox have published a page of every player pronouncing their own name:

Love this idea and I hope other team follow suit,

This is fun! And useful. Like it that Masa gives his name in the Japanese style of family name first (Yoshida Masataka).

 

[DJnVa]

I've seen similar things on some college sports sites. It's not a separate page, but it's on their profile page.

In this case thought, THANK GOD ZACK KELLY DID THIS.

 

[donutogre]

That's so smart. I'm a big fan of this and would imagine lots of teams do the same soon.

 

[Brianish]

Clean-cut Triston Casas looks like somebody and it's been driving me nuts for ages.

 

[Reverse Curve]

Pretty cool! I've been mispronouncing Masataka with the accent on the third syllable. Bobby Dalbec's 2nd pronunciation is kinda funny...

Hm, I wonder if he has the sweater.

I see some Justin Long (actor) in there.

[Hank Scorpio]

I’m a little bothered by how Isiah Campbell pronounces his last name.

EDIT: Apologies, in the above picture its last name first.

The phonetic spelling on that page doesn't even match how Masataka pronounces his name.

I'm totally going to listen to Devers pronounce his name on a loop to gently put me to sleep.

 

[brandonchristensen]

That's important when you have a revolving door of players and fans don't have any connection to the majority of them.

Shrewd move!

They had to wait for Remy to die to create this? Cruel

Like it would have helped.

We can only imagine "Yosheeder."

 

[Brianish]

This might be it. It's close, at the very least.

 

[InsideTheParker]

That's neat. The biggest challenge is reproducing the rolled "r" of the Hispanic names. It's so elegant but doesn't come naturally to the English tongue without seeming like a parody.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

This is very useful. David Hamilton was giving me fits.

 

[ColdSoxPack]

So how to pronounce Liam Hendricks? Ly-am or Lee-am?

I was going to say that this is great but they should have a companion site with Remy/Orsillo pronouncing names, and a guide to which player they're talking about.

Late to the party, but for me it's definitely

I'm hoping they will expand this to the minor leagues. Portland has had a SoundCloud of players saying their names but I would love to see something formal system-wide. Would be a nice complement to the movement to use diacritical marks accurately on jerseys, in reporting etc.
