by 
After having its release delayed a week the first roster update for MLB The Show 17 is now available to download. This update primarily focused on adding new players who have made their major league debuts this season. Once a player makes their first appearance in the big leagues they become part of the MLBPA and eligible for inclusion in the game.Â
The highest rated new rookie is 72 Overall and there are two rookies that come in with ‘A’ Potential. There are also some ratings changes that went through but those are related to position changes and not based on performance.
