86 OVR Andy Cooper is a starting pitcher. His stats are good, but not great. He doesn’t have any Quirks, which means this card has a low ceiling.
86 OVR Rap Dixon is a right fielder. His strengths are speed, hitting, and power, but this card doesn’t show them. His Speed, Stealing, and Baserunning are good, which makes him a good fielder.
87 OVR Rube Foster can be a starting pitcher, first baseman, or right fielder. As a starting pitcher, his advantage is that his Stamina attribute is high, but his other attributes are mediocre. This card can be used for collection.
Unlike the previous three cards, 89 OVR Jackie Robinson is not only collectible, but also very powerful. This card has very good contact attributes on both sides, but the Powers attributes on both sides are not very high. Jackie Robinson has a very high Speed attribute and is also good at stealing bases, and this card is currently ranked fifth in the shortstop position.

Negro Leagues Collection
Larry Doby 89 OVR and John Donaldson 90 OVR are new cards added to Jackie Robinson Day Program. They can be got through The Negro Leagues Collection. As long as you successfully collect 13 cards of The Negro Leagues, you can unlock Larry Doby. To unlock John Donaldson, you need 20 cards.
These two cards can only be obtained this way and cannot be traded through stubs. Larry Doby 89 OVR is one point lower than John Donaldson 90 OVR, but it is more valuable than him.
Larry Doby 89 OVR is the third-best center fielder in MLB 25 with 9 Quirks, and is also very good against right-handed pitches as a hitter.
John Donaldson 90 OVR is the 14th-best starting pitcher with 4 Quirks, and most of his stats are close to or even above 90, but his K/9 and BB/9 stats are low. All-Star Corey Kluber is a better starting pitcher than him, and the way to get this card is very simple, and you can get this card for around 20,000 stubs.
