2K Sports has announced today that Milwaukee Brewers’ Prince Fielder will be on the cover of the upcoming game The BIGS 2, as well as stand as the game’s spokesman.
Fielder is widely known for being the youngest player to hit 50 home runs in one season, a feat he accomplished when he was just 23 years old. The title was formerly held by the legendary player Willie Mays. He also holds franchise records for extra bases hit in a single season, with 87, and led the Brewers to their first playoff game in 26 years.
In a press release, Fielder said, “I’ve been playing baseball video games for as long as I can remember. All of my idols have appeared on a video game cover, and now to have that same opportunity is truly an unbelievable feeling…I can’t wait to see myself in The BIGS 2. I’ll be the guy crushing mammoth home runs into the stands.”
The BIGS 2 is slated to come out in July 2009, for the 360, PS3, PS2, PSP, and Wii.
