MLB The Show 23 pre-order guide – Editions, bonuses, and more

Baseball fans can prepare to head to the digital diamond once again, with the renowned simulator MLB The Show 23 launching in late March. Similar to past installments, the sports title gives players the opportunity to pre-order one of various editions in order to nab early access, extra Diamond Dynasty packs, and of course, some of that sweet Stub currency. This year, there are multiple rewarding editions to get your hands, with one even offering a hat and a steel book. Here is every edition of MLB The Show 23 and everything they contain.
