“Being named cover athlete and joining the list of amazing
players who have been EA SPORTS cover athletes is truly an honor,”
said Rodríguez, the 22-year-old All-Star slugger.
Rodríguez took Major League Baseball by storm last season with a
.284 batting average, 28 home runs and 75 RBI in 511 at bats in his
rookie year. In 2022, Rodríguez became only the fourth rookie
outfielder ever to win the Silver Slugger award and the fastest
player in MLB history to hit 25 home runs and 25 stolen bases in a
single-season. The Dominican Republic native also placed second in
the 2022 T-Mobile Home Run Derby, with an incredible 81 home runs
across three rounds, and was one of only six Mariners ever to be
elected to the All-Star game as a rookie.
“Julio Rodríguez is one of the most dynamic young players in all
of baseball and we’re thrilled for him to be the face of Tap Sports
Baseball this year,” said Andrew Pedersen, Vice President of Mobile
Sports at Electronic Arts. “This is an exciting new era for the Tap
Sports Baseball franchise as we officially welcome the game to the
EA SPORTS family and believe players will have the best mobile
baseball experience to date as a result.”
EA SPORTS MLB Tap Sports Baseball 2023 also released a video
trailer featuring Rodríguez while giving players a first look at
gameplay for this year’s game. The trailer can be viewed here: EA
