David Ortiz Reveals MLB The Show 24 Cover Athlete

After building up anticipation for the announcement, hall of famer David Ortiz partnered with Sony San Diego for the MLB The Show 24 cover athlete reveal in an extremely special way. The series has shown a commitment to highlighting representation in recent years, and that rings true once more as the MLB The Show 24 cover athlete reveal was essentially paired with a documentary about the importance of baseball in the Dominican Republic. The reveal is a must-see, and it all comes down to showcasing the story of one of today's greatest players becoming the MLB The Show 24 cover athlete.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. revealed as MLB The Show 24 cover athlete

Sony San Diego teased the MLB The Show 24 cover athlete reveal was on the way, but players are getting to learn a lot more than the cover itself. David Ortiz hosted the MLB The Show 24 Ride to Reveal alongside MLB The Show product development communications and brand strategist Ramone Russell and Latin Grammy Award winning artist Eladio Carrión.

After building up the reveal and giving a glimpse into the ways players get around the Dominican Republic, it was announced that Vladimir Guerrero Jr. of the Toronto Blue Jays will be the face of MLB The Show 24. Guerrero Jr. was seen by many as a favorite to get the nod soon, as the 24-year-old has continued to prove himself one of the league's rising stars. 

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. may not have had his best season in 2023, but since hitting the Toronto Blue Jays in 2019 he won the 2021 Silver Slugger Award, 2021 AL Hank Aaron Award, 2022 Gold Glove Award, was the MLB home run leader in 2021, and won the MLB Home Run Derby in 2023.
