Andy Houtkamp and Edward van Cuilenborg bring the European Baseball Championship to life: A passionate audio experience for everyone

During the European Baseball Championship, Gazeti brings the sports experience to life in a way that resonates with every fan, whether they are in the stadium or at home. Baseball is incredibly fast-paced, tactical, and intense—every moment counts. That is why zero-delay commentary is essential at this tournament to convey the excitement and emotions instantly.

Edward van Cuilenburg and Andy Houtkamp are passionate voices who cover every pitch and every play with enthusiasm and depth. They know better than anyone how to capture and transmit the energy from the field. For fans with a visual impairment, this means they can feel every moment—from the very first pitch to the final walk-off—as if they were physically present at the game. Without any delay, they receive analysis, context, and the emotions of the moment, placing them right in the heart of the action even if they are not in the stadium.

For organizers and federations, this represents a significant step toward accessible and inclusive elite sports. It opens the doors to a broader group of fans while simultaneously increasing opportunities for activations and engagement. In this way, Gazeti creates a unique connection between the sport and its supporters, ensuring that no moment is lost and everyone can enjoy the passion and spectacle of the European Baseball Championship.
