On January 31, Sony officially announced MLB The Show 22. Several key reveals were made alongside the announcement, including that Angels pitcher and designated hitter Shohei Ohtani would be the game's cover star. One thing that wasn't revealed, however, was its gameplay. The team at San Diego Studio decided to hold back gameplay to keep MLB The Show 22's early momentum rolling. The wait has ended, however, as San Diego Studio dropped the first gameplay trailer Wednesday morning.
