If you didn’t already see recently’s announcement, MLB The Show 23 is set to release next month on March 28th. When it does release, it will be playable on PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch platforms.

MLB The Show 23 developer San Diego Studio has today revealed that it will be adding a number of previous gamers from baseball’s Negro Leagues in this 2023’s installation of the series. In current years, MLB The Show has slowly been adding a number of renowned stars from history into the series so that players can use the best gamers in baseball history. And while these additions have up until this point largely disregarded the extensive slate of all-time greats that played in the Negro Leagues, that will no longer be true this year.

As part of a multi-year collaboration with the Negro Leagues Museum, MLB The Show 23 will integrate eight various players and their stories as part of a new Stories mode seen in the video game. Stories will permit MLB The Program players for more information about these Negro League stars and use them in the game throughout crucial minutes from their professions. Season 1 of this collaboration will see Leroy Pouch Paige, Jackie Robinson, Andrew Rube Foster, Hilton Smith, Hank Thompson, John Donaldson, Martin Diego, and John Jordan Dollar O’Neil all getting the spotlight in MLB The Show 23. When MLB The Show 24 undoubtedly launches next year, another wave of players from the Negro Leagues will then be showcased as part of Season 2.

In other words, this is a truly cool relocation on San Diego Studio’s part and lastly provides on a request that a number of MLB The Program fans have had for several years. This move also helps shine a light on some of the most underrated stars in baseball history that didn’t get as much attention prior to Jackie Robinson leading the way for integration in 1947.
