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!
-
@PriorFir4383355_XBL I assume if Ichiro is inducted he'll be on the cover because of how popular Japanese baseball is now

So many Hall of Famers have passed in the last few years. None of them made the cover so it is doubtful they would change that for Henderson. If they did then there would be an outpouring every time a HOF died to put them on the cover.
Besides, I have a feeling that their decision has been made and the contract signed already.

Rickey or Barry Bonds.
-
Ricky Henderson
-
Bobby with Jr

-
@Capt-Clutch-2K24_PSN Yeah i want Juan Soto to be the cover athlete of next mlb the show.
-
The cover athlete for the show 25 should be Tarik Skubal
-
Shota Imanaga
