It seems the MLB The Show 25 cover has been leaked, by the cover stars themselves. Elly De La Cruz took to Instagram to announce he is the MLB The Show 25 cover athlete, and Gunnar Henderson did the same.
Fans are a little confused by this news. They thought Elly De La Cruz had unintentionally leaked that information at first, but Gunnar Henderson posted a response to the Cincinnati Reds star at almost the same time. So, it seems this was planned.
A Historic MLB The Show Cover
If both players feature in the MLB The Show 25 cover, then it will be the first time the franchise has a double athlete cover. It would be a historic cover and something fans would likely love to see.
This isn't a huge surprise, as I had predicted that could happen in my MLB The Show cover athlete prediction piece, but I thought it would feature Shohei Otani and Aaron Judge.
While Elly De La Cruz and Gunnar Henderson might not be the first players that come to mind when you think about MLB The Show cover athletes, they are two of the best shortstops in the MLB and two rising superstars.
But there is a big chance De La Cruz and Henderson won't be the only players to feature on the cover, as Bobby Witt Jr. has also been rumoured to be on it.
If that ends up happening, we would have the first three-athlete cover, featuring three elite shortstops nonetheless. Now that would be truly historic, and a great way to send fans a message that MLB The Show 25 will be like nothing they have ever experienced.
