Cubs shortstop Javy Baez will be on the cover of next year’s version of the MLB The Show videogame.

The team and Sony PlayStation revealed the game’s cover art Monday morning. In addition to the standard edition of the game, MVP, digital deluxe and anniversary editions will be available.

“I am so honored and excited to be on the cover of MLB The Show 20,” Baez said in a statement released by Sony. “I’ll never forget how it felt when I saw myself in the game for the first time (even as a backup!). It was so surreal. Still, it’s one thing to see your virtual self, but it’s completely next level to be on the cover of a game you’ve played and love.”

The game will be released on March 17, 2020. The standard edition will cost $59.99.
