Alright, let’s talk about this MLB the Show 23 WBC thing, you know, the baseball game. My grandson, he’s always playin’ it, so I kinda picked up a thing or two, ya know? It ain’t like watchin’ real baseball, but it’s somethin’, I guess.

So, this WBC program, it’s like a whole bunch of stuff you gotta do in the game. My grandson, he told me it’s all about the World Baseball Classic, which is like the whole world playin’ baseball. Sounds fancy, huh? But it’s really just a bunch of games you gotta play to get rewards. And let me tell ya, gettin’ those rewards ain’t easy.
Fastest Way to Get Through This WBC Thing
Now, my grandson, he’s always lookin’ for the fastest way to do things. He says there’s a “fastest way” to finish this WBC program. First thing he told me, and I’m tellin’ you, is you gotta have a fast runner on the bench. You know, for pinch runnin’. Cause sometimes, you start with guys on base, and you need someone speedy to get ’em home.
And then there’s this “showdown” thing. I don’t really get it, but it’s important. My grandson says you gotta get your best hitters in there, so you can, you know, hit the ball and score runs. That part I understand, at least.
He also says somethin’ about bein’ a “passive hitter.” That means you don’t just swing at everythin’. You gotta wait, see what the pitcher’s throwin’. Get a good look, he says. Makes sense, I guess. No point swingin’ at bad pitches, right?

What’s New in This Year’s Game?
Now, they make a new one of these games every year. This year, it’s MLB the Show 23. But next year, it’ll be 24, I guess. They always add new stuff, my grandson tells me. He says this year, they made it more “realistic.” That means it looks more like real baseball, I think. They got new animations, he says, which is just fancy talk for how the players move.
- More Realism: They made the game look more like real baseball.
- New Rules: They even put in the new rules that the real baseball players use.
- Easier Menus: And they made the menus easier to use, which is good, cause those things can be confusing.
And then there’s the team stuff. You start by openin’ packs, tryin’ to get good players. It’s like tradin’ cards, but on the computer. And this year, you can get these special jerseys too. My grandson, he likes gettin’ the jerseys. He says you can buy ’em with coins, or you can get lucky and find ’em in the packs.
My Take on It
Honestly, I don’t really get all this video game stuff. But seein’ my grandson get excited about it, well, it makes me a little happy. And I guess it’s better than him runnin’ around outside, gettin’ into trouble, you know? He tells me about the game, and I try to listen. It’s his way of sharin’ his world with me, I figure.

He says this game, MLB the Show, it’s for baseball fans and for gamers. I guess he’s right. He loves baseball, and he loves playin’ games. So, it’s a good fit for him. And if he can figure out the fastest way to finish this WBC program, well, good for him, I say. He’s a smart kid, even if he spends too much time starin’ at that screen.
So, what did I learn? Well, get fast runners, be patient at the plate, and try to get good cards. Sounds like good advice for baseball, and for this game too, I guess. And it’s important to pay attention to what the young people talk about, you know? They might know a thing or two that we can learn. Even if it’s about video games and not about canning tomatoes or getting the chickens in the coop.
Final words, get those fast runners ready to pinch run, get good looks at the pitches, and build a good team. That’s how you get through the WBC program in the MLB The Show 23, or at least, that’s what my grandson tells me! And make sure them menus aren’t confusing, or you’ll never get anywhere!
