Joey Votto MLB The Show 20 Diamond MVP
On Friday (Oct. 16), fans were finally able to begin the new Joey Votto MLB The Show 20 Player Program. The Reds’ former MLB MVP gets a brand new upgraded card, available for free in Diamond Dynasty. The official Twitter account for the game tweeted out a trailer video featuring the Cincinnati Reds star in virtual action. It also gave a look at the front of the new MVP Flashback Diamond card, a 99 overall.
In terms of attributes for Votto’s new Flashback MVP card, he’s got Diamond Hitting including 122 Contact Right, 96 Contact Left, 114 Power Right, and 81 Power Left. Votto also has 116 Plate Discipline, 125 Clutch, 82 Fielding, and 82 Reaction. He’s got only 56 Speed, 48 Stealing, and a 54 Arm when it comes to lower attributes.
