MLB The Show 19 Closed Alpha Starts on December 13 - Today is the Last Day to Sign Up

Sony San Diego Studio announced their MLB The Show 19 closed alpha, during their Twitch stream today. If you missed it, you can watch the archive here.

This year’s closed alpha starts on December 13, with the main focus on hitting, pitching, bunting and online gameplay. Fans can sign up for the MLB The Show 19 closed alpha here, which is not a guarantee to gain access.

There are a lot of changes to gameplay for MLB The Show 19, many of which will not be shown in the alpha, but will be revealed during their Twitch gameplay stream, leading up to launch.
