MLB The Show 18 is set to release exclusively for PlayStation 4 on March 27, 2018. This year’s installment of the annual baseball franchise has New York Yankee Aaron Judge on the cover. That’s really all we know about the game so far, but honestly, Sony puts out a quality baseball product every year. So if it’s anywhere near the quality of last year’s installment, fans are in for a treat.
If you’re ready to preorder MLB The Show 18, you’ll want to know what editions and preorder bonuses that are available. We have all the information below, so read on.

The Amazon page currently does not list the standard Amazon Prime 20% discounted preorder price, the preorder bonuses aren't listed, etc. We'll keep an eye on these listings and let you know if they're fleshed out over time.
