It marks the first time in the franchise's history that an athlete has appeared on the cover multiple times.

He succeeds Los Angeles Angels' Mike Trout, who occupied that role for the United States baseball team in the 2023 WBC."

He led the Majors with a 204 wRC+ en route to a second-consecutive AL MVP award and Silver Slugger.
