When it comes to baseball video games, MLB The Show has been the franchise of choice for some time, with little by way of true competition. Arriving in 2006, the series from Sony Interactive Entertainment San Diego has established itself as the most comprehensive baseball game on the market, steadily building on its gameplay options with each yearly entry.

Alongside being available on Nintendo Switch for the first time, the game also includes cross-platform play that lifts the burden of needing to have friends on the same device.
