It’s too soon for Elly surely! Give him at least a year or two in the league first…at least one because I was thinking they should do a retro/flashback cover for next year with (this is completely random), perhaps…I dunno how about a great New York Met from the mid-late 80’s and early 90’s? Doesn’t that sound fun! Ooh Howard Johnson maybe or Darryl Strawberry! THAT would be a sick cover AND they could have “Get Metsmerized” and “Let’s Go Mets” playing on endless loop for the soundtrack. No need for kimbo slice to get sticky icky

It's way too soon to make that call. Too many rookies start out hot and then begin to trail off when teams begin to figure out their weaknesses.
Giving in to the hype too soon is how we wound up with Jazz on the cover this year. It is why had a Yasiel Puig cover.
But, it all boils down to who SDS sees as the most marketable. Who they think will help sell units.
I'd prefer it if they went with established stars or legends myself. But if I was going to choose a younger marketable player who I believe has proven himself then it would most likely be Acuna.

Mark my word. Elly will be the cover athlete next season.

I hope Tap Baseball picks Acuna so Elly can be on the MLB 24 cover (My personal bias pick is Senga but SDS doesnt like pitchers)
-
Obviously has to be Caven Biggio.
-
So, if this is the criteria, then how about waiting until say the final day of the year some rookie hits a pinch-hit home run in his only at bat of the year. COVER ATHELETE!!!! He hit 1.000 for the year, and all his hits were home runs!
Look no further than this year's cover athlete to see why you need more than one good half of a season.

Darryl Strawberry! THAT would be a sick cover
Especially if he still has the white powder under his nose.

I often wonder why they don't have an option where you can order it with the team of your choice for the cover. I know cost wise for the artwork, blah, blah, blah, but considering how they nickel and dime us to death it's the least they could do for us. At least everyone would be somewhat happy with that.
I would Invision it with the team logo centered, with smaller photos of the better/more popular players surrounding the logo. Once game loads it's skinned to your teams' colors. So, redbird fans could have red/white, Mets orange/blue, and so on.
Or, go the exact opposite way. Would probably work for money grubbing SDS folks. Just have MLB the show logo and that's it.

Years ago this guy on Twitter was doing custom covers. He did Kemp for me when MLB12 came out.

He didn't steal home. The pitcher gave it to him. Guy should be sent down. It should be impossible to steal home.

Doesn't matter to me who's on the cover but as long as they diserve it. Jazz didn't imo.
