MLB The Show 20: 6th inning content, new player programs revealed
Greg Maddux, Stan Musial and Jimmy Rollins are the latest MLB The Show 20 bosses
About a week ago, someone at Sony San Diego Studio screwed up. An image containing the 6th inning bosses for MLB The Show 20 was inserted into the game. It became obvious pitcher Greg Maddux, St. Louis legend Stan Musial and shortstop Jimmy Rollins would be the bosses. SDS’ stream on Thursday was still worth watching.
Maddux, Musial and Rollins are immediately among the best players at their position. Rollins in particular might be the best shortstop in the game; he has nearly maxed out fielding and speed attributes as well as top-tier contact and just enough power to hit homers. He’s also a switch hitter. Musial is also pretty nasty. Maxed out contact and top tier power are certainly worth looking at, although bronze fielding and even worse speed leave something to be desired.
The other content revealed during the stream almost functions as a second Diamond Dynasty starter pack. Sony San Diego revealed two new showdowns and stressed how easy the showdowns will be.
