Take your Ballplayer across game modes to own every at-bat, every pitch, and every play and for the first time ever you have more ways to play than ever before.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.

Before you go, get ready to step up to the plate with a few tips to help your game. And remember, the most important tip is to practice, practice, practice!
- MLB The Show 21 introduced Pinpoint Pitching, a new way to deliver the highest level of accuracy in your throws. Try it, but use the pitching mode that suits your style of gameplay best.
- Throw some intentional balls and don’t be predictable when pitching. Once a batter is behind in the count, they may be more likely to chase a wide pitch and strike out. Shake it up and work the count!
- There are many ways to customize your PCI (including color) in the options menu. Change it up to find the one that helps you maximize your gameplay. Then spend time in the practice mode to get your timing down with the interface you chose.
