For historical players, the db would need to include the BBR info on pronunciation, so the Red Sox new reliever is properly pronounced "\ah-ROLL-dis". There are 23,000k MLB'ers that could have this info populated. Just takes some patience to get to them all in the database. Fictional names are tricker but not as jarring if said slightly off. I agree the tech has moved so fast, this is do-able if made a focus point during the development-for-the-next-game cycle for OOTP27-30.
The real voices, be it Harwell, Castiglione or Mel Allen, etc. would be mods. I really look forward to that.
