TheMLB The Show 22Legends roster is beginning to take shape withthe announcement of Chase Utley, last week’s addition, joining the likes of Jimmy Rollins, Ryan Howard, Joe Mauer, and Justin Morneau. It promises to be a star-packed lineup including some of the greatest baseball players to ever step on the field, and it’ll soon be welcoming another player.In a tweet released by the officialMLB The Showaccount this week, the Legends roster will have another member on board, and this time it appears to be a pitcher. The announcement comes this Thursday, and if it follows what the developers did with its reveal of Utley, baseball fans could see a new gameplay feature live on stream.RELATED:MLB The Show Should Make The Jump To PCSpeculation is already making the rounds, as fans make their best guess on whom the player silhouette is featuring. What baseball fans are assuming from the player’s posture is that the featured legend is a pitcher, while the stadium appears to be Yankee Stadium, based on the color pattern of the fans in attendance. While the image is strategically blurred out, it’s possible to identify the white, gray, and navy blue color scheme, synonymous with the New York Yankees. WithMLB The Show 22’s recent update on pitching, the announcement comes at a great time, as players can enjoy their experience with a new pitching legend.
The big name out there is Roger Clemens, a former member of the Yankees, Boston Red Sox, Toronto Blue Jays, and Houston Astros. A one-time MVP, seven-time Cy Young Winner, two-time World Series Champion, and two-time Triple Crown Winner, Clemens makes perfect sense in this spot. He ushered in a new wave of baseball fans in the 1980s and 1990s and was one of the biggest names in all sports for three decades. WithMLB The Show 22hitting the Nintendo Switchfor the first time, developer San Diego Studio feels an extra sense of pressure to elevate the game to a higher standard, and it can achieve this with Clemens.
With the game’s launch in less than one month from now, baseball fans will look forward to jumping into the action, as the MLB heads towards a lockout-shortened season. If Clemens is the newest legend on the roster, gamers will get an excellent pitcher-hitter duel between him andMLB The Show 22cover athlete Shohei Ohtani. It sets the stage for what is promising to be one of the greatest baseball games ever created.
MLB The Show 22releases on April 5 for PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
