A ton of MLB The Show 20 news has dropped today, and it seems that San Diego Studio will be hitting this one out of the park in a few months on March 17, 2020. Aside from the game’s official release date, Javier “El Mago” Báez has been revealed as the game’s cover athlete, three special editions have been shown off, and a slew of preorder bonuses will be available. After all, Sony usually tends to make a big deal about each release.
For starters, each version of MLB The Show 20 will feature Javier “El Mago” Báez as the cover star, who is well-deserving of his nickname. “El Mago” is Spanish for “the magician,” and he’s known for doing things like unintentionally throwing his bat at a pitch and having it hit, resulting in him getting on base. (That happened earlier this year at an April 2019 game against The Pirates.)
