2K Sports has announced that Roy Halladay is the cover athlete for MLB 2K11. The Cy Young Award winner has thrown a perfect game and helped lead the Philadelphia Phillies to the NLCS; 2K Sports also predicts he will win his second Cy Young Award.
I’m honored to be on the cover of Major League Baseball 2K11, said Halladay. I’m not one for predictions, but should 2K Sports be right about tomorrow, well, that would be a great way to end the year.
Halladay was chosen to be representative of the MLB 2K series Total Control Pitching mechanic, which gives players a high level of control and accuracy on the mound.
In the Year of the Pitcher , Roy has truly distinguished himself as the best pitcher in baseball, said Greg Thomas, senior vice president of sports development for 2K. Between his dominating season that included baseball’s 20th perfect game, and his exciting performance during the postseason, we believe there is no player more worthy of representing our revolutionary pitching mechanic on the cover of Major League Baseball 2K11 than Roy Halladay.
