Sony San Diego has revealed that MLB The Show’s Challenge of the Week has players trying to hit a 200MPH fastball. Those who earn the most points after the challenge concludes will be rewarded with prizes.
Sony San Diego has collaborated with the American sports and comedy group Dude Perfect for this week’s Impossible Fastball Challenge of the Week. It’ll run from April 4 at 12 PM PT / 3PM ET to April 11 at 11:59 AM PT / 2:59 AM ET. Players will need an internet connection and must be at least 18 years old to win the prizes:
- 1st place: Paul Skenes autographed The Show ball
- 2nd place: Elly De La Cruz autographed The Show ball
- 3rd place: Gunner Henderson autographed The Show ball
- 4th – 10th place: 50,000 Stubs
- 11th – 20th place: 40,000 Stubs
- 21st – 40th place: 30,000 Stubs
- 41st – 100th place: 10 Challenge of the Week Exclusive Packs
Players will play as Elly De La Cruz against a CPU-controlled Paul Skenes who throws a 200MPH fastball and rack up as many points as possible within three outs. GameSpot has attempted this challenge and it seems like players will literally need to swing the instant the pitch leaves Paul Skenes’ hand in order to make contact with the ball.
MLB The Show 25 is now available on PS5, Switch, and Xbox Series X|S. In GameSpot’s MLB The Show 25 review, we said, “MLB The Show 25 adds a number of impactful new features while tweaking its already excellent on-field action.”
