MLB The Show 18 Features Aaron Judge on Cover, Details About Different Editions Revealed

For those who are unaware, MLB The Show is a professional baseball game series that has featured many legends of the game on its covers ( such as Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr on the cover of MLB The Show 17). MLB The Show 18 then has gone a different route by having the rookie, Aaron Judge on the cover. Judge, with 52 home runs for the New York Yankees has set a record for rookies.
