MLB The Show: Leave Your Mark
This year, MLB The Show is focused on making a lasting impression like never before. It emphasizes “The Journey,” which begins with hard work in high school and is fueled by the ambition to improve daily while aiming for a Hall of Fame career. This motivation was central during the game’s development, leading to the return of three-time American League MVP, Aaron Judge.
Aaron Judge’s Inspiring Journey
Aaron Judge’s progression from high school to college, followed by the minors and then the majors, showcases a similar path depicted in our game. Our mission is to offer the most authentic MLB experience outside of actual gameplay.
Record-Breaking Achievements
Judge continues to make history. Previously our cover athlete in 2018 after an outstanding rookie season in 2017, he is now a three-time AL MVP, seven-time All-Star, five-time Silver Slugger, holder of the AL single-season home run record with 62 homers, and captain of Team USA for the 2026 World Baseball Classic.
