The Minnesota Twins made their catcher and 2009 American League Most Valuable Player a very rich man. Joe Mauer signed an 8-year, $184 million contract extension with his hometown team. The 27 year old Mauer is already a 2-time Gold Glove winner, 3-time Silver Slugger, and 3-time American League batting champion. This is great news for Mauer and Twins fans, but it’s also good news for Sony. Sony signed Mauer as the cover athlete for MLB 10: The Show for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2 and PSP earlier this year. Check out this exclusive video with Mauer from the motion-capture session he spent in San Diego with Sony’s baseball videogame development team.

Joe Mauer, the Minnesota Twins catcher and reigning AL MVP, who is reportedly close to signing a big 10 year contract extension worth $200 million, was at Sony’s San Diego studio yesterday getting motion captured for the upcoming game “MLB 10: The Show.” Mauer and his #7 jersey is the cover boy for this year’s version of the Sony PlayStation baseball title. MLB 10 will feature a new Catcher mode that was designed with Mauer in mind as well as a new ”Road to the Show” mode , which is basically a career mode that will follow your player in the game. The game will also feature Real Time Presentation where gamers will be able to watch players move around realistically in real time.
