You can check out the full announcement in the tweet above, where Negro Leagues President Bob Kendrick explains the origins of ‘Night Baseball,’ as well as why these teams needed to find new ways to be able to play their game. Judging from the clip, it appears as though players will be able to experience this new mode in all its glory from crowd attire to on-field presentation.

MLB The Show releases on March 28, 2023, for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch.
