There isn’t much down time in a professional baseball season.

But if the Toronto Blue Jays do happen to be off, and you’re looking for Bo Bichette, there are two places where you’ll likely find him: on the beach, or parked in front of a TV playing MLB The Show.

The Star caught up with the shortstop to chat about his love for video games and recent experience playing in the MLB The Show Players League. We discussed his controversial player rating, which Jays teammates are allowed to play with him and how not to break a controller if experiencing gamer rage.
