The MLB 2020 season had a different look to it but, one thing remained consistent; the play was as epic as ever.

It was a year in which new talent announced itself to the world, flipping bats, dancing and bringing plenty of electric moments to the game. Arguably, no one did this better than the MLB The Show cover athlete Fernando Tatis Jr.

Nicknamed “El Niño” and known for his electric play, epic bat flips, swagger and home runs; Fernando Tatis Jr., can now add MLB The Show cover star to his impressive resume. Even though 2020 had many bleak moments, Fernando’s on the field play was a bright spot and we couldn’t be more thrilled for him to grace the cover of MLB The Show 21.
