Fielder broke the MLB record for the youngest player to hit 50 home runs in one season. He was just 23 years old at the time and the record which he broke was previously held by baseball Hall of Famer, Willie Mays. In 2007 Fielder won the Players Choice Award for Outstanding Player in the National League voted for by the players. That same season he also won the Hank Aaron Award, which is handed to the top offensive player in each league as voted for by the fans.

“I’ve been playing baseball video games for as long as I can remember. All of my idols have appeared on a video game cover, and now to have that same opportunity is truly an unbelievable feeling,” commented Fielder. “I can’t wait to see myself in The Bigs 2. I’ll be the guy crushing mammoth home runs into the stands.”

The Bigs 2 is expected to be available on July 7, 2009 for the Xbox 360, PS3, PS2, PSP and Wii. No price for the game has been announced yet.
