Guerrero is a young player but has achieved a lot already. He has earned Silver Slugger and Golden Glove Awards.

He has been given a rating of 90 in the video game.

MLB The Show lets fans interact with the sport. The game shows that baseball is about families, traditions and passing the love of the game to others.
