Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. is the cover athlete of MLB The Show 21, PlayStation announced Monday.
At just 22 years old, Tatis is the youngest player to be chosen for the game's cover and is also the first Padres player to be selected for the game's cover.
Tatis captured his first NL Silver Slugger award last season and placed fourth in the NL MVP voting. Tatis has played just 143 career games in MLB but has already hit 39 home runs and recorded 98 RBIs over two seasons of action.
“He just has the spirit of a 10- or 12-year-old, playing the best sport in the world,” Padres manager Jayce Tingler told Sports Illustrated's Emma Baccellieri last September.
