Yankees legend Derek Jeter is your MLB The Show 23 Collector’s Edition Cover Athlete!

February 2nd, 2023

Derek Jeter’s back in MLB ® The Show ™! The 14x All-Star, 5x World Series Champion, 5x Silver Slugger, 2000 World Series MVP is your MLB The Show 23 collector’s edition cover athlete! Derek had one of the best careers in baseball history and we’re elated for him to join the collector’s edition cover athlete club.

Derek Jeter needed an epic cover, and we wanted to show him in a new light. With that in mind, we tasked visual artist Sanford Greene to present Derek in a fresh, new perspective. Derek’s career as a Yankee is larger than life and his cover literally has him jumping out of Yankee Stadium. Can you spot all the Easter eggs in the cover? We’re thrilled with the cover art and are so happy that we finally get to show the results of this collaboration.

Now you’re wondering, “What’s in the Editions?”  First, we’re very excited to announce that Early Access is back for anyone that purchases either of the Collector’s Editions. The Digital Deluxe Edition or The Captain Edition of MLB The Show 23. Early Access in MLB The Show 23 begins 3/24, to give you a four-day head start.
