Miami Marlins Star Gets Snubbed In MLB The Show 24 Rankings
The Miami Marlins have reason to be mad at Sony Interactive Entertainment.
You see, the publisher for MLB The Show 24 dropped ratings for the new version of the game, and they gave a top performer from last year's Marlins squad an atrocious rating.
Luis Arráez, who won his 2nd consecutive batting title last season after leading all of baseball with a .354 batting average, was ranked so low he didn't even show in the team's top five, getting a rating of only 78.
Make it make sense.
Arráez not only won his 2nd consecutive batting title last season, but he improved in almost every facet while doing it - improving his batting average by almost forty points, his on-base percentage by almost twenty, and his slugging by almost fifty points.
| Batting average | On-base percentage | Slugging | Home runs | Strikeouts | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
2022 | .316 | .375 | .420 | 8 | 43 |
2023 | .354 | .393 | .469 | 10 | 34 |
But not only did Arráez somehow rate only a 78, outside of the team's top five, his rating actually DROPPED from 2023's edition of the game, when he finished the season at an 83.
Make it make sense.
Arráez, the reigning back-to-back batting title winner, joins such luminaries in the high-70s at Joey Gallo, who has put up four consecutive seasons of batting averages under .200 and yet scored out at...you guessed it, 79 in this year's version of the game.
Joey Gallo rated higher than Luis Arráez.
Make it make sense.
The top five Marlins in this year's version of the game are Tanner Scott (91), Eury Perez (89), and the trio of Jazz Chisholm Jr., Sandy Alcántara, and Jake Burger all tied at 83.
MLB The Show 24, the new version of the game that's moved from Jazz Chisholm Jr. as last year's cover athlete to Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vlad Guerrero, officially releases on March 19th and will be available across PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
