Yankees star tapped to be on cover of ‘MLB The Show 26′ ... again
In a Tuesday reveal, MLB The Show and Sony announced Aaron Judge as the cover athlete for MLB The Show 26, launching March 17 with early access on March 13.
Sony's artwork depicts Yankees pinstripes with a Team USA jersey, linking Aaron Judge's career chapters and youth outreach through the ALL RISE Foundation and camps.
Reflecting on the series, Judge said he found about 50 unopened copies of MLB The Show 18 at his parents' house and was scanned at Sony Studios long ago.
For Judge, the moment is another personal milestone and surreal, and he'll check his ratings and load Road to the Show first, though playing as himself feels strange compared to the Yankees.
Framing the repeat, Aaron Judge said 'Getting to do it twice is special', admitted envy of Tiger Woods' Fourteen editions on EA Sports' PGA Tour, and expressed interest in a third cover while Sony expects fans and non-baseball gamers to enjoy the release.
