Ahead of the game's full reveal, the cover star for MLB The Show 23 has been announced, and it's 24-year-old Jazz Chisholm of the Miami Marlins. As many have observed following the announcement, Chisholm was an unexpected choice.

He is an exciting upcoming player but doesn't have the star power of, say, Shohei Ohtani, who was MLB The Show 22's cover star. In a PlayStation Blog post, San Diego Studio's Ramone Russell said, "Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s electric personality, play, and love for all things baseball made him a great choice to be on the cover of MLB The Show 23."

MLB The Show 23 launches on March 28, which is two days before the new MLB season begins on March 30. The game will be available on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Switch. The game will be available day one on Xbox Game Pass. Preorders begin February 6.
