To be clear, it hasn’t yet been announced that ‘MLB The Show 20’ will be coming out with Finest cards this year. Nearly everyone is assuming though, that they will be the Stage 4 Fall Affinity reward for each team.
Last year, Finest cards were given to those who excelled during the 2019 regular season. There was a fan vote on who should get them, and it is not clear if it will be the same this year.
If each team gets one Finest card, here is who should be their representative. This is totally subjective. There is sure to be some disagreement (examples are some will likely believe Fernando Tatis Jr. should be the Padres choice, Luke Voit for the Yankees, Kenta Maeda for the Twins, and Devin Williams for the Brewers).
Arizona Diamondbacks - Zac Gallen (SP)
It was a disappointing season for the Diamondbacks, but don’t blame Gallen, who finished sixth in the NL with a 2.75 ERA and 10th with 82 strikeouts.
Wanted to revisit this Zac Gallen tweet after the full season. The LOB% did regress to 83.6%, but Gallen still pitched incredibly well and actually lowered his ERA (2.75) on the season. His 167 ERA+ was good for 8th in baseball. https://t.co/26Lappt3UZ

Atlanta Braves - Freddie Freeman (1B)
Seen by some as the NL MVP favorite, Freeman led the NL in both runs (51) and doubles (23) while finishing the year with an outstanding 1.102 OPS.
