RBI Baseball 17 Cover Athelete and New Features

RBI Baseball 17 has been announced being the fourth entry in this modern returning game franchise. Today the cover athlete of the game was announced as well to be Dodgers shortstop and 2016 NL Rookie of the Year Cory Seager. This was shown on January 28, 2017 at the Dodgers Stadium in front of the large crowd. For some further information Seager hit .308 with 26 home runs, 72 RBI, 105 runs scored and 40 doubles in his first full season, statistically among the best rookie seasons ever for a shortstop. I've included the fancy cover art for the game below along with highlights for the upcoming year and a screenshot as well to see the changes in graphics.
