News: Islanders play-by-player Brendan Burke will succeed Jason Benetti as the main play-by-player on Peacock’s Sunday morning baseball, The Post has learned.

What you need to know: NBC/Peacock did much better in the first season of its baseball package than Apple did. It had the talented Benetti on play-by-play, and used analysts from each of the teams playing in its Sunday morning games. Benetti left for Fox Sports, leaving NBC looking around for his replacement. The rotating analyst setup is expected to remain.

Brendan Baseball: Burke is a proven network-level announcer. He called hockey for NBC, and now does the NHL on TNT. Burke won’t do the first four games of the season on Peacock as he finishes the NHL playoffs for TNT.

Pinstripe pride: Burke put himself back on the baseball map by doing an excellent job filling in for John Sterling on Yankees radio with Suzyn Waldman for some games last season. FAN is very high on him, and there was a thought he could be the heir apparent to Sterling. However, his hockey schedule probably would prevent that. (And it probably doesn’t matter because Sterling, who is about to turn 85, is never retiring.)
