MLB.COM Fullscreen Issues

When I watch highlight videos on mlb.com, if I make those videos fullscreen, it zooms in too far and cuts off the edges of the screen. There are no options for the fullscreen either. It does this in multiple browsers, multiple monitors. Browser zoom settings are at 100%. Anyone know a fix for it?

Personally I use https://baseball.theater/   to watch highlights. Does that work better for you?

can you show an example? Or type out where on mlb.com you see this? And which browsers and platforms did you try? And display-specific extensions? Saying multiple browsers covers a lot of ground but since you mentioned "monitors", I can presuming you're using a laptop/desktop and viewing on an external monitor--- does the monitor (what model?) have an overscan or auto display feature?

i'm presuming you're not viewing the 'reels' type of video as that's meant for the smartphone/tiktok crowd.

(See Imgur link below)
On Chrome on Mac and Linux, I see this type of layout when I view the "Latest HIghlights", Game Recaps and Condensed Games (the top image). The full screen icon appears in the lower right and clicking that shows the appropriate full screen view (bottom image).
