Javy Baez named MLB the Show 2020 cover athlete

[chicagocubsfan]

We're thrilled to reveal Javier "El Mago" Báez as the cover athlete for MLB The Show 20!
Known as "El Mago" which translates to "the magician," Báez has dazzled the baseball world for years with his enchanting skills that have rightfully earned his nickname. Whether Báez is stealing a base by masterfully evading a tag, making impossible catches look easy or pulling off his signature no look tag; his skills are unparalleled and he always does it with flair and swagger. Báez also produces at the plate, too; in 2018 he hit 34 home runs, 111 RBI's and a .290 batting average.
