Whereas previous versions of the game have divided prospects into "high school" or "college", the 2023 edition will enable users to see what age the prospect is, and at exactly what educational stage they find themselves in. This is especially pertinent as 21-year old first-rounder makes his debut for the New York Yankees this week.

Moreover, MLB 23 contains a new approach to how Franchise Mode users can manage their scouts. While previous versions of the game, users had four scouts, they will now have to rely on four.
