With no major league baseball to play or watch, Minnesota Twins players and fans have resorted to other sources to get their baseball fix. Some watch the replays of games on television, while others choose to play their own game on the video game MLB the Show.
Major League Baseball decided to harness this and put together a tournament of four of the top gamers in professional baseball; Twins pitcher Trevor May, Reds reliever Amir Garrett, Rays starter Blake Snell, and Giants outfielder Hunter Pence.
The teams were composed of their own custom-made rosters, complete with 99 Overall-Rated versions of themselves (99 is the highest rating in the game for those who don’t play).
