Baylor Ballpark Media Protocols

[Rhodes, Zach]

To media visiting Baylor Ballpark during the 2021 Baylor Baseball season:

This season’s media operations will be altered in conjunction with the other Big 12 schools in order to provide a safe environment while covering Baylor Baseball.

You will receive an email before each series or individual game with a Box link (https://baylorbea.rs/37RVUDI). The link will be updated during/after the game with pictures (please credit Baylor Athletics), box scores, video highlights and the full Zoom postgame press conferences. Game notes will also be added before each contest.

PRIOR TO ARRIVAL

  *   All media personnel are required to wear a mask upon entering the stadium. Media must bring their own masks.
  *   Media members must self-screen prior to coming to the ballpark.
  *   Gates will open one hour prior to first pitch.
  *   Due to social distancing parameters, there will be no room for media in the press box. However, there will be tables set up outside the press box with power and WiFi.
  *   Credentials will be issued on a single-game basis. Media members can request credentials by contacting Zach Rhodes (Zach_Rhodes at baylor.edu) no later than 24 hours before each game/series.
  *   Credentials can be picked up at the ticket trailer outside Baylor Ballpark.
  *   Media credentials will only be valid for media seating. They will not permit access to any other areas (field level, camera wells, press box, etc.)

PREGAME AT BAYLOR BALLPARK

  *   Media will not be allowed on the field at any time on game day.
  *   Pool photographers (depending on the game) will provide media members a Box link to access digital materials.
  *   The pool photographers will be allowed to shoot from the concourse/baselines while maintaining proper social distancing.
  *   If you would like to record the broadcast feed, please contact Davis_DeLoach (davis_deloach at baylor.edu<mailto:davis_deloach at baylor.edu>). He can provide an SDI feed of the broadcast from the Baylor Ballpark press box. You would be allowed into the press box to access the feed, but that’s it as there are no available seats inside this season.
  *   Baylor Vision will put together a short highlight package for TV media that will include as much of the game action as time allows. This will include both teams’ highlights. If any media members have a specific request for video from a game please communicate that to Zach, and we will do the best we can to help out.

POSTGAME

  *   Baylor’s postgame press conferences will be conducted via Zoom. Head coach Steve Rodriguez and select student-athletes will answer questions following the cooling off period.
  *   A recording of the press conference will be distributed through the Box link.
