With MLB The Show 21 and Diamond Dynasty firmly in the late game now, we can all but guarantee these three new 9th Inning Bosses will be 99 OVR cards.

Exactly who gets chosen is always difficult to predict, as many of the biggest legends names have already been thrown out by this point, but Sony San Diego probably still has some tricks up their sleeve.

While the Bosses don't always reflect current play, it wouldn't be surprising for one or more of the trio to be a player that dominated during the World Series or Postseason.
