MLB The Show fans – Coach is back (with clones, and friends!) for a series of episodes to share everything you need to know about MLB The Show 22. For now, check out Coach’s return in our first feature announcement following the cover reveal.


Online Co-op Play


Coach is joined by friends, family, and cover star Shohei Ohtani himself to give you the details on online co-op play*. This online feature makes it possible to squad up and play 2v2 or 3v3 with your favorite MLB or MiLB teams in Play Now mode online or with your card collection in Diamond Dynasty in MLB The Show 22. Team up online with friends, family, or other competitors across any console platform where MLB The Show 22 is available. You can also combine your select Diamond Dynasty cards with your teammates’ collections to field the ultimate team and prove who the kings and queens of the diamond are.

Whether you’re a monster on the mound or the best home run robber in the outfield, lean into your strengths with your online teammates to field the winning team.
