Major League Baseball is the latest to turn in the ball for the controller.

One player from each of MLB’s 30 teams, including Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Jon Duplantier, will play a 29-game round-robin regular season of MLB The Show starting Friday.

Eight of them will make a postseason tournament that’s set to begin April 30.

MLB, its players association and Sony will combine to donate $5,000 to each team’s Boys & Girls Club, and the winner of the playoff tournament will earn an additional $25,000 for their team’s community.

The digital league will be streamed on MLB’s social media accounts (TwitterFacebookYouTubeTwitch), MLB Network’s Twitch site, “MLB The Show” social media (TwitterFacebookYouTubeTwitch), the clubs’ social media accounts and MLB.com. Players will also be able to stream the events from their personal accounts.
