The decision was made to include Miami Marlin's second baseman Jazz Chisholm, a 2022 National League All-Star and a player who is recognized for both his charisma and his great performance, on the cover rather than a fully-fledged superstar.

"I like Jazz, think he’s a good player, and one with a very high ceiling. But tell me what about these numbers is video game cover athlete worthy," said The Good Phight, a Phillies blog.

"Jazz Chisholm being the cover of MLB The Show 23 is such a bizarre choice," said YouTuber Big Game Bengal. "It’s kinda like if Brandon Aiyuk was picked as the cover of Madden 24 next year."
