Yes, it appears as if Jackie Robinson will be the cover star for the lucrative version of the game.
It is slightly confusing, however, with there being a Jackie Robinson Deluxe Edition, Digital Deluxe Edition and a Jackie Robinson Edition.
This has been spotted on Reddit, by the same person - anerdydad - who leaked the main cover star - Fernando Tatis Jnr - a day before release.
Brooklyn Dodger Robinson was the first African-American to play in the MLB in the modern era, going on to become the first-ever Rookie of the Year, an All-Star for six straight seasons, and became the first black player to win the National League MVP Award.
