All of my idols have appeared on a video game cover, and now to have that same opportunity is truly an unbelievable feeling,” said Fielder. “I’ve been playing baseball video games for as long as I can remember. After breaking the MLB record for youngest player (23) to hit 50 home runs in a season, formerly held by Hall of Famer Willie Mays, Fielder has quickly become one of the most powerful and spectacular home run hitters in Major League Baseball® today. (NASDAQ: TTWO), announced today that MLB® All-Star first baseman, Prince Fielder of the Milwaukee Brewers, will be featured as the cover athlete and spokesman for this season’s highly anticipated arcade-style baseball video game, The BIGS™ 2.

We’ve also finally got a concrete release date: The BIGS 2 will be out for PS3, 360, Wii, PS2, and PSP on July 7th. In the video - and the first screenshot, which you can find in the gallery below - you can see Prince going yard, and there’s also some footage of him playing defense. And at 5’11” and 268 pounds, he’s also, shall we say, pudgy - a physique that’s represented quite well in the first trailer for The BIGS 2 (check it out after the jump, along with a press release). So it’s only appropriate that 2K Sports has tapped Prince Fielder, All-Star first baseman for the Milwaukee Brewers (and brawny home run machine), to be the coverboy for their upcoming arcade baseball title, The BIGS 2.įielder is known for his power: in 2007, at age 23, he became the youngest player in MLB history to reach the 50-homer mark. Specifically, I’m referring to towering blasts that leave stadiums and smash lights, à la The Natural. Arcade sports games are all about bombastic spectacle - basketball players soaring twenty feet in the air for a dunk, hits so vicious that helmets are knocked off - and in baseball, that means home runs.
