Baseball might be the most stat-heavy sport in the world these days, and where there are stats, there are milestones. This week, OOTP Developments’ Perfect Team Community Manager Kris Jardine took the wrapping off OOTP 20’s first-ever batch of Player of the Month cards — 3 from the NL and 3 from the AL — and showcased a Peak CC Sabathia in honor of him becoming just the 17th player to ever rack up 3,000 strikeouts.
You can catch up on the action in the YouTube replay, and you can catch future TWiPT episodes live every Monday at 9 PM ET at Twitch.tv/ootpdevelopments.
It’s also not too late to join all the pack-ripping fun in Perfect Team in Out of the Park Baseball 20, which is available now on Steam and through the OOTP Developments website.
