Bad at hobbies

[cosmolinguist]

It's good to know that Paul Skenes (amazing professional baseball pitcher) and I (none of those things) have one thing in common:

We can't play video games.

(This is especially funny because he is being interviewed because he's the cover boy on this year's version of the Major League Baseball video game. Which I probably could play, if the text can go big enough.)

We're both in search of a hobby actually.

Did he say why he can't play them?

Lack of dexterity, apparently. Which is wild because he needs a lot of finger dexterity to do his job (pitching is to a large extent about holding the baseball in a bunch of ways that differ only a little from one another and must be precise). But it just proves that skills at one set of tasks don't necessarily transfer to other ones!
