2K Sports has announced that Justin Verlander will cover Major League Baseball 2K12. The star pitcher is an American League Cy Young Award candidate, with over 20 wins and multiple no-hitters under his belt and has already received the player elected awards for Player of the Year and American League Outstanding Pitcher.
“It’s a dream come true to be on the cover of Major League Baseball 2K12,” said Verlander, who pitched the second no-hitter of his career this season. “I’ve worked closely with 2K Sports on the MLB 2K series since 2007, and I couldn’t be more excited to continue my relationship with such a great baseball game.”
“Justin’s amazing performance this season speaks for itself,” added Jason Argent, vice president of marketing for 2K Sports. “Between his second career no-hitter and leading the league in virtually every pitching category, I can’t think of anyone else but Justin Verlander to serve as the face of Major League Baseball 2K12.”
