This master swordsman cut through a 100 mph fastball like it was made of butter

Let's say, in some "Mad Max"-esque future where our social institutions have survived but in a severely altered form, that baseball is played with swords. Not like outfielders are carrying around épées in case of a spontaneous duel or a fight with an irradiated desert rat; instead, bats have been replaced by pointy weapons.

OK, we haven't really thought this through and have no idea how the rest of the game would even be possible.

Here's what Machii's sword could do to one of those pitches: 

Plus, he could also help you prepare your healthy ballpark snacks. Gotta make sure to get your vegetables, even when civilization has mostly collapsed.
