MLB The Show 25 will commemorate its 20th anniversary with a groundbreaking cover featuring three young stars: Elly De La Cruz, Gunnar Henderson, and Paul Skenes. This marks a shift from the tradition of selecting a single cover athlete and reflects the abundance of young talent emerging in MLB. Skenes makes history as the first full-time pitcher featured on the cover, while De La Cruz and Henderson have made significant impacts in their respective seasons. The game's release is set for March 18, 2025.
Historically, we've chosen a single cover athlete for MLB The Show, someone who is at the pinnacle of the sport. However, with the unprecedented young talent coming into the league, we wanted to represent the changing current climate of baseball and showcase it on our cover.
The Pirates brought Skenes up to the majors last May, and the 22-year-old phenom posted an 11-3 record with a 1.96 ERA. In July, he became the fifth rookie pitcher to start an All-Star game.
In his first full season in 2023, Henderson hit 28 home runs with 82 RBIs, aiding in Baltimore's first playoff berth since 2016. Last season, Henderson earned All-Star honors for the first time with 37 home runs and 92 RBIs.
