Why? Simple. Because chicks dig the long ball.

It's a good question. As much as it pains me to say it Gerritt Cole would be a good choice.

Just think of the Bartolo Colon cover we never had the pleasure to be graced with.

Baseball is predominantly a regional sport and the cover athlete decision is a national marketability problem. Position players are way more recognizable on a national (even global scale) than pitchers. As an example, find a casual baseball fan and ask them their favorite or best player on a team not in your region...you're highly likely (close to 100%) going to get a position player answer.

Recommend reading the article. Chase calls out traditional pitchers.

Yeah but I only want the cover where he's swinging for the fences and his helmet's coming off for that one.

Now that it's established a pitcher has been on the cover, next article needs to be why a manager hasn't been on the cover. Sony dropped the ball not following up Miami Jazz cover with another Marlin, skipper Schumaker.
