We are less than 72 hours away from the MLB The Show 17 release date on March 28. PlayStation 4’s baseball title is one of the most anticipated games every year and this year is no exception.

Heading into MLB The Show’s release, fans will want to know who are the best players in The Show. MLB The Show features a roster share option where players can upload rosters that feature equipment, visual and ratings edits. However, the rosters and ratings for the major league players on launch day are never the ones, for the most part, that players play with.
