Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has been revealed as the cover athlete for this year’s MLB The Show 24 video game.
The Canadian-born 24-year-old Toronto Blue Jays slugger joins the likes of Shohei Ohtani, Aaron Judge and Jazz Chisholm Jr. as cover athletes for the baseball gaming series. Not counting international versions of the games, the last Blue Jays player to grace the main cover of MLB The Show was Josh Donaldson in 2016.
