MLB The Show 25’s Last Ride Program is a program for the last season of several legendary baseball players. The players to be commemorated in Last Ride Program are Mike Mussina, who chose to retire after achieving 20 wins in a single season in 2008, and David Ortiz, who still ranked first in the league in slugging percentage and overall offensive index before retirement.
Last Ride Program is similar to other programs. You still need to complete tasks and accumulate points to unlock rewards. Besides the regular XP and stubs rewards, this time the rewards also include 87 OVR Last Ride Mike Mussina and 88 OVR Last Ride David Ortiz.

87 OVR Last Ride Mike Mussina
Mike Mussina is a leading right-handed pitcher for Yankees. Mike Mussina throws many different kinds of pitches. His four-seam fastball dropped to 84-88 mph (about 135-142 km) at the end of his career. His actual pitches include two-seam fastballs, forkballs, sliders, changeups, curveballs, etc., and the snap curveball, which is considered his best pitch. He would use the angle of his elbow to conceal the pitch during the game. For example, he would deliberately lower his side hand position to cover up the low starting position when throwing a rising ball.
As his condition declined near retirement, this is also reflected in his card. His H/9 and K/9 attributes are not high, but his other data are still at a good level. He currently ranks 22nd among all starting pitchers, which is a very good card.
88 OVR Last Ride David Ortiz
David Ortiz is a first baseman or designated hitter for Red Sox, nicknamed Big Papi. He set the record for the most home runs hit by all hitters in the last year of their careers in major league history. He is a member of the 500 home run club and was inducted into Hall of Fame when he first became eligible.
In addition to the above achievements, he is most remembered by Boston fans for his many key hits, especially in the playoffs. During his time with Red Sox, his OPS in the playoffs was as high as 0.969.
David Ortiz is a left-handed hitter. His contact attributes are good for both sides, and his right hand power is very strong, but this is not the actual strength of David Ortiz. He also has 7 Quirks, which greatly increases the upper limit of this card. Currently, 88 OVR David Ortiz ranks ninth among first basemen.

How To Get Points?
You need to complete 6 Moments and 4 Missions to reach 50 points to unlock 88 OVR Last Ride David Ortiz.
Moments
- Complete three moments with Mike Mussina (15 points - 5 points each)
- Complete three moments with David Ortiz (15 points - 5 points each)
Missions
- Pitch 10 innings with a Yankees’ pitcher (5 points)
- Get 15 hits with Red Sox players (5 points)
- Gain 500 PXP with a Last Ride Series pitcher (5 points)
- Gain 500 PXP with a Last Ride Series batter (5 points)
The difficulty of this mission is to gain PXP with a Last Ride Series batter, as it seems that there are not many batters in Last Ride Series, and if you fail to complete this mission, you will only have 45 points and cannot unlock David Ortiz.
MLB 25 certainly won't give you an impossible mission. Adrian Beltre, 79 OVR, is a third baseman who can also hit, and he can help with this last task, and Athletics' Joe Morgan also meets the requirements with his overall rating of 64. However, neither card can be obtained through stub trading.
