I understand if its Elly de la Cruz, but in my opinion, it has to be bobby witt. with the season he had, I think he's deserving of the cover athelte
For SDS I think it is less about who is deserving and instead who they think will sell the most copies.
2024 - Vlad (Al East)
2023 - Jazz (NL East)
2022 - Ohtani (AL West)
2021 - Tatis (NL West)
2020 - Baez (NL Central)
2019 - Harper (NL East)
2018 - Judge (AL East)
2017 - Griffey Jr (AL West)
2016 - Donaldson (AL East)
2015 - Puig ( AL West)Correction: Puig was NL West.

Yep, typed that up a little too fast apparently. He was right up there with Jazz in the bad choice for a cover category.

Ohtani, duh

Doubtful.
He was just on the cover in 22 and they have not duplicated cover athletes since Joe Mauer was on both MLB 10 and 11.
If they were to go repeat then I could maybe see Judge getting it since his cover was back in 2018.
I am expecting Elly or Soto although I would not say no to getting Pujols back in the game and putting him on the cover. But it is probably too soon for them to add him back.

I would love Pujols as the deluxe edition.
-
I really want to see Elly in the reds black out ink’s as cover athlete
-
With Ricky Henderson passing away, it would be a really neat tribute to put him on the cover of '25
-
I don't anticipate a legacy player, even a hall of famer, being selected. I'm pretty sure MLB wants to see their current athletes put on the covers. This is a marketing decision far more than a statement of honors. And when it comes to honors, nothing tops the plaque in Cooperstown and of course, Ricky has one!
