MLB The Show 24: New 'Women Pave Their Way' option for RTTS mode set to feature female ballplayers for first time

With teams entrenched in Spring Training action, excitement is building for Opening Day and the release of MLB The Show 24. With the game set for release on March 19, snippets of news are being released about the game and one such has just dropped.

The MLB's X handle posted a clip, announcing that you can play as a female player in the 'Road to the Show' game mode:

"Everyone has Major League dreams. Now it's your time to unlock them. Announcing Road to The Show: Women Pave Their Way, a new way to play @MLBTheShow's Road to The Show mode as a female player!"

Female trailblazers were the inspiration for the game mode, for example, Toni Stone, who was the first woman to play in a professional male league, joined the Indianapolis Clowns in the Negro Leagues in 1953.

MLB The Show narrative designer Mollie Braley released a statement:

"Our team wanted to create something where dreams become a reality, and we felt like adding this to Road to the Show was the perfect opportunity that gave our players the option to experience this."
