It was revealed Monday that Kate Upton is the 2012 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover girl, now at newsstands everywhere. Also released yesterday was a 2K Sports online commercial for the upcoming Major League Baseball 2K12 video game, featuring Upton giving "hands on" tips on proper finger mechanics to major league pitchers.
The pitchers starring in the commercial are Detroit Tigers pitcher (and AL Cy Young award winner) Justin Verlander, Tampa Bay Rays pitcher David Price, Cincinnati Reds pitcher Jay Bruce and Los Angeles Angels pitcher C.J. Wilson, who are trying to work their way into "The Perfect Club". The pitchers don't have any lines in the commercial, which probably means 2K Sports saved a little money by not giving them speaking parts.

What do 2012 Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover girl and Michigan native Kate Upton and Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander have in common?
Well, they both can be called gorgeous -- Verlander for his repertoire on the mound and Upton for, well, obvious reasons.
The two can also be found in a commercial for the not-yet released video game MLB2k12.

Cool commercial, and I’m hoping for a decent game out of 2ksports. I can’t stop playing NBA 2k12. I just unlocked the Larry Bird ’84 Celts the other night and I am running the point with Larry Legend. If they got anywhere close to their basketball rendition with the baseball game, then we’re onto something.

Off-season learning will be key to Jacob Turner's development with Tigers
Tigers ace right-hander Justin Verlander made two starts in his rookie year of 2005. Both times he was knocked around, allowing four-plus runs and seven-plus hits. "Those 100-m.p.h. fastballs were going out just as fast," general manager Dave Dombrowski said last week. "But he learned from it."
