My 9 year old son didn't want to throw me fastballs in MLB the show because "they're too easy to square up and hit hard" and we think that video games don't teach kids anything

real talk, MLB the Show has probably taught a LOT of kids a lot about pitch sequencing. Infinite mental reps, no physical harm.
