Player ratings are often one of the most debated topics with every sports game release. Seeing this dynamic play out over multiple years with aging veterans declining and rising superstars ascending is part of the allure. Now that MLB The Show 24 is officially in early access, here’s a look at the highest-rated player on every team in MLB The Show 24.
