Introducing Our First-Ever Trio of Cover Athletes
An Unstoppable Force
PAUL SKENES
Skenes has dominated since high school, refining the pitches that made him the 2023 National Pitcher of the Year and a college champion. Drafted #1 overall, he carried his success into the MLB, earning All-Star Game starter honors, NL Rookie of the Year, and All-MLB First Team recognition.
An Explosive Journey
ELLY DE LA CRUZ
De La Cruz controls the game at mach speed. His Road to The Show started quietly in the Dominican Republic, but he stole the minor and major league spotlight with his blend of power, a cannon-like arm, and game-breaking speed. One of the youngest players in history to hit for the cycle, he became an All-Star in '24. Blink and you'll miss baseball's most fearless player.
A Dedicated Competitor
GUNNAR HENDERSON
Henderson hasn't hit every checkpoint in his Road to The Show - he's consistently crushed them. Alabama's high school Player of the Year rose through the minors, becoming 2023's #1 MLB Prospect. Since his debut, Henderson has helped lead the Orioles back to the postseason, becoming an AL Rookie of the Year, Silver Slugger, All-Star, and MVP candidate along the way.
