MLB The Show 17 is a 2017 baseball video game developed by San Diego Studio and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment for the PlayStation 4.

While Matt Vasgersian returns for The Show 17, commentary from Harold Reynolds and Dan Plesac replaced Eric Karros and Steve Lyons.

Franchise mode places the user in control of an entire MLB team, including coaching, player development, and general-manager duties.

As in previous versions, "Diamond Dynasty" involves building the ultimate baseball team and maintaining a virtual trading-card collection.

If players purchase the Hall of Fame Edition of the game, they receive the Steel Book case cover, several physical items, such as a limited edition New Era Hat, based on the modified version of the MLB logo with the hat on backwards to match Ken Griffey Jr.'s style, and many in-game bonuses.

He also praised how the game looked, with smoother animations, new character face models, and three brand-new presentation packages.

Wakeling criticized the commentary as "stilted" and noted the game had a few "blemishes lurking throughout," but found those problems detracted little from the overall experience saying the product overall "is America's National Pastime at its best".

Wilson enjoyed the game's polish and controls stating "Plays, looks and feels just like real baseball" and that the "Retooled ball physics and myriad new animations are the main differentiator from MLB 16, with outfielders taking more varied angles to cut off line drive doubles, and more realistic spin effects."

Some of Wilson's criticisms involve that any of the game's modes "requires significant time commitment, even with speedier options" and that "Last year's online woes remain its Achilles heel".

He scored it a 9.5/10, praised the overall presentation and gameplay, and stated: "Overall, MLB The Show 17 builds on last year's version, which many cited as the best in the series, by adding some key features and improvements.
