Whoever SDS thinks will help sell copies. That is the only real criteria that matters.
I think MLB likely has the final say in this, and that its about increasing interest in MLB as much as it is about selling copies.

MLB does not have the final say. They can certainly make suggestions, and they can restrict anyone from the permanently ineligible list (Sorry, Shoeless Joe fans), but SDS has the final say.

Out of curiosity, how do you know this? MLB owns the license, is a publisher, and has already forced Sony to make it multi platform. I would be shocked if they give SDS that kind of control with the most visible thing about the game.
Game developers almost never have the final say when a publisher is involved. Occasionally developers can get freedom (FromSoft), but this is pretty rare.

There can be only one cover athlete for 2026. WBC Legend Shlomo Lipetz. I will pay $500 for the deluxe edition.

Trouts’ with MLB9Innings, I think Acuña did some mobile game covers, and I’m not too sure about Mookie.
