They have pages of info and they have staff to spot. Some of the announcers will occasionally credit their spotting team. Those staff have binoculars that are sometimes used as well. I got to go to work with my Dad when I was a kid. He worked For ABC TV here in the USA. There are multiple people on the crew and they have a separate audio channel to talk to the announcers on. Also, for some games, there are internal monitors for the crew to display info for the announcers.
