rdf:langString MLB The Show 20 is a baseball video game by San Diego Studio and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, based on Major League Baseball (MLB). The fifteenth entry of the MLB: The Show franchise, it was officially released on March 17, but customers that digitally pre-ordered the game were given an early release on March 13. Chicago Cubs infielder Javier Báez is featured as the cover star. For the first time ever, Minor League Baseball players are fully licensed and have their names and likenesses featured in the game. In previous versions of the game, Minor League players were not licensed and were replaced with generic players. As well, the team and logo editor that were previously exclusive to Diamond Dynasty were brought over to the game's Franchise mode. Matt Vasgersian, Mark DeRosa & Dan Plesac return as play-by-play commentators; Heidi Watney returns as sideline reporter and Alex Miniak returns as public address commentator. Upon release, MLB The Show 20 was generally well-received by critics, who praised the new fielding and hitting mechanics, and new features in the Diamond Dynasty mode, while criticism was given to technical issues at launch. MLB The Show 20 is the final game in the series to be a PlayStation-exclusive, as its successor, MLB The Show 21 also released on Xbox.
