From Houston Astros to Atlanta Braves- Teams That Are Yet to Have Players Featured on MLB The Show Covers

MLB The Show is arguably the most popular video game in baseball. However, it is not just popular for its gaming features but also for its selection of cover athletes every year. Teams like Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Angels are among those teams which have had their players featured on the cover of MLB The Show. But there still are some big MLB sides who are yet to get their players featured on the cover of MLB The Show.

This year, it was Los Angeles Angels’ superstar Shohei Ohtani who featured as the cover athlete for The Show 22. He beat the players like World Series winner Freddie Freeman and Washington Nationals’ Juan Soto to become the cover athlete of The Show 22. With this, he also became the first Angels star to appear on the cover of MLB The Show.

Teams with their players featured on MLB The Show covers

The concept to feature a cover athlete on ‘The Show’ came after the 2005 season of MLB. And It was David Ortiz of the Red Sox who first got featured as the cover athlete of the baseball video game. Since then, it has become a kind of tradition. Every year, the game developers choose a cover athlete to represent their games.

Notably, the Red Sox players have appeared three times on the MLB The Show covers, most appearances by a single team. Whereas, Philadelphia Phillies and Minnesota Twins have also had their players featured on the cover of the baseball video game two times each. 

Top MLB teams which are yet to have players featured

Out of all 30 teams in Major League Baseball, fewer than half have got the chance to appear on the cover of MLB The Show. Houston Astros, Atlanta Braves, San Francisco Giants, Washington Nationals, and Baltimore Orioles are some of the top teams, whose players have never featured on it.
