MLB The Show 25 April Spotlight 2 Rewards: How To Get Them?

San Diego Padres’ starting lineup this season is not optimistic. Yu Darvish, who is injured on the elbow, has repeatedly conveyed the news of his return. Can the 38-year-old pitcher save Padres’ decline? It is still unknown at present.

MLB The Show 25 launched the Yu Darvish Evolution Program on July 1. Let’s follow the footsteps of this program and review Yu Darvish’s growth history from MLB to now.

Yu Darvish Evolution Program Includes three free player cards, all of which are Yu Darvish cards. Yu Darvish also has a Live card that was released on March 13th, and this card only requires 400 MLB The Show 25 stubs.

The three cards represent three different periods of Yu Darvish in MLB, and his attributes are getting higher and higher.

85 OVR Rookie Yu Darvish

• Stamina: 94
• H/9: 80
• K/9: 90
• BB/9: 53
• HR/9: 78
• Pitch Clutch: 83
• Control: 66
• Velocity: 90
• Break: 99

85 OVR Rookie Yu Darvish represents his time as a pitcher with Rangers in 2012. He left Japanese National Baseball Team in 2012 and joined Rangers. He won his debut against Seattle Mariners and was selected as an All-Star that year.

This card ranks 151st among starting pitchers in MLB 25. Although he has 5 pitching methods, his Control attribute is too low, which makes his pitching not very stable and easy for opponents to walk.

90 OVR Veteran Yu Darvish

• Stamina: 91
• H/9: 85
• K/9: 75
• BB/9: 86
• HR/9: 80
• Pitch Clutch: 93
• Control: 86
• Velocity: 99
• Break: 96

90 OVR Veteran Yu Darvish represents his last year as a starting pitcher for Chicago Cubs in 2020. Because of the impact of the epidemic, he performed poorly at the beginning of this season, but he quickly recovered and won several high-quality starts for the team.

This card ranks 61st among starting pitchers. Compared with his Rookie card, his Control attribute has increased significantly, but some other attributes have decreased. Although his BB/9 attribute has increased, the decrease in K/9 will make him more likely to be struck out in the game.

95 OVR Standout Yu Darvish

• Stamina: 97
• H/9: 101
• K/9: 85
• BB/9: 88
• HR/9: 81
• Pitch Clutch: 100
• Control: 90
• Velocity: 99
• Break: 99

95 OVR Standout Yu Darvish represents his time pitching for San Diego Padres in 2022. Although he joined Padres in 2021, his defensive data in his first year was not very good, but he won 16 games in 2022, the same number of wins as when he first came to the major leagues in 2012, proving that time cannot make this pitcher’s level decline.

This card ranks ninth among all starting pitchers. From the attribute point of view, it has no many weaknesses. Only K/9 attribute is slightly lower than his Rookie card. The attributes of its five pitches have also become more perfect.

MLB 25 Road To The Show mode is one of the most popular modes for players. In this mode, players can simulate a player’s growth path from high school to the major leagues.

• Batting: 23 Perks

Moonshot Program introduces a unique set of cards with a lunar background, featuring players who don’t usually have great power or attack attributes. These players are both variations of the main cards in Diamond Dynasty, and new cards.

Since the last few updates, players have begun to complain that the really good cards are too difficult to get, and Moonshot Program has reversed this situation to some extent.

In addition to regular card packs and MLB The Show 25 stubs, this event In addition to the rewards, the two most concerned rewards are 90 OVR Hunter Brown and 91 OVR Adolis Garcia. It is a bit regrettable that there are not many reward players in this program. Many players think that there will be at least 3 players as rewards in this event.

90 OVR Topps Now Hunter Brown

• Stamina: 87
• H/9: 97
• K/9: 81
• BB/9: 71
• HR/9: 99
• Pitch Clutch: 103
• Control: 73
• Velocity: 92
• Break: 99

Hunter Brown is the starting pitcher of Astros. He made his debut in September 2022 and won the world championship with the team in the same year. From April 3, 2025 to April 27 games, Hunter Brown set a record of 28 scoreless innings.

Hunter Brown’s statistics as a starting pitcher are very good. He has 5 pitches, with his 4-Seam Fastball being his best, followed by his Knuckle Curveball. His 2-Seam Fastball has a lot of velocity, but lacks control.

The right-hander ranks 13th among 483 starting pitchers in MLB 25. He only has two quirks, and if he had more, his ranking might move up a few spots.

91 OVR Topps Now Adolis Garcia

• Contact Right: 90
• Contact Left: 88
• Power Right: 92
• Power Left: 90
• Vision: 48
• Discipline: 40
• Clutch: 95
• Bunt: 35
• Drag Bunt: 25
• Durability: 95

Adolis Garcia is a center fielder for Texas Rangers, and can also play left and right field. He made his major league debut in 2018 and was traded to Rangers in 2019.

In May 2021, he won Rookie of the Year award and was selected for All-Star Game. In 2023, he was selected for All-Star Game again and won World Championship with the team.

91 OVR Adolis Garcia has excellent ability as a hitter. His left and right contact data are very good and he has almost no weaknesses. His defensive data is even better. He has 99 Arm Strength and Arm Accuracy and 86 Fielding data, but his running speed is average.

The biggest drawback of this card is that there is no quirk, but the solid data still allows him to rank 16th among 356 center fielders.

How To Make Progress?

There are 15 tasks in Rivalry Weekend Program. It is not difficult to get all the rewards. You have many ways to get points.

Complete 15 Moments (75 Points And 5 Points Each)

These 15 Moments cover pitching and batting, and are all veteran difficulty, but the difficulty is not particularly high. Some moments require you to complete extra-base hits or get on base.

• Jumbo Pack
• Headliners Packs×2
• Ballin’ is a Habit Pack×1

• Get two saves with a closer patcher (CP) (5 points)
• Get three extra base hits with a shortstop (5 points)
• Pitch 10 innings with a starting pitcher (5 points)
• Get five hits with a third baseman (5 points)

The two players given away by Rivalry Weekend Program are not the best players, but they are not difficult to obtain, and their stats are good. You only need to spend a little time to get all the rewards. If you haven’t completed 99 OVR Scott Rolen Collection, then you need these two cards even more.
