Anthony Rizzo pitching in The Show has taken on a whole new meaning.
Rizzo made his second career big league appearance on the mound against Atlanta a few weeks back, even striking out Freddie Freeman. His performance apparently drew MLB The Show 21's attention.
The Show created a Rizzo reliever card, offering gamers an alternate version of the Cubs first baseman to put on the mound. And, honestly, Rizzo's attributes aren't as bad as you may think.
