After a week of teasing, Sony has finally unveiled the cover athlete for MLB 15 The Show. So who will grace the cover of the game that will commemorate the 10th anniversary of Sony's exclusive baseball franchise? None other than Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Yasiel Puig.

Last year, Puig hit .296 with 16 home runs and 69 RBIs in 558 at bats. He also recorded 11 stolen bases. In the postseason, he hit just .250 with 1 RBI. He struck out seven times ina row over the first three games of the NLDS against the St. Louis Cardinals.
Despite his off-the-field issues and postseason struggles, there's no denying Puig is a star for the Dodgers. The question is, though, does he deserve a spot on the cover of MLB 15 The Show?
