MLB The Show 25 is a video game based on Major League Baseball developed by San Diego Studio. The game will be released in March 2025 and is available for Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S. All players have the opportunity to swing the bat with all their strength in MLB The Show 25, experience the moment that determines the outcome of the game, become a legend, and realize their baseball dreams.
Stubs are the universal currency used in MLB The Show 25 Diamond Dynasty and are a key resource for building your dream team.
With the arrival of June, 3rd Inning Program is over, and 4th Inning Program replaces it. In the June 6th update, 3 powerful 94 OVR bosses were introduced. If you can get all the rewards, you can get at least 2 of them.
Like 3rd Inning Program, 4th Inning Program will last about a month and is expected to end on July 3rd. The unfinished part will no longer be available. The way to complete this program is to gain XP, and You can accumulate XP in other events or in Diamond Dynasty Mode.
Besides 4th Inning Boss Choice Pack, which allowing players to select the boss, there is another noteworthy reward, which is 93 OVR Adam Dunn Milestone. This card has very high attributes and cannot be traded with MLB The Show 25 stubs.
93 OVR Adam Dunn Milestone
This card represents Adam Troy Dunn’s time with Reds. His primary position is left fielder, followed by first baseman. Adam Duun has been selected to All-Star Game twice, in 2002 and 2012, and has been inducted into Hall of Fame.
He bats left-handed and can accurately focus on pitches to the right. And his right hand power attribute reaches an amazing 125, which allows him to hit home runs. But this is not his upper limit, he also has 8 quirks. As a free card, he has surpassed 99% of the cards.
Hank Greenberg is the first baseball player of Jewish descent in American history. He spent most of his career with Tigers. Hank Greenberg was selected to All-Star Game five times and won World Series championship with the team twice. He was a baseball star in the 1930s.
Hank Greenberg’s primary position is first baseman. He is good at swinging with his right hand, but he can hit the ball stably regardless of whether the ball comes from the left or right. But even with 9 quirks on this card, he still ranks only sixth among first basemen, while Adam Dunn with 93 OVR ranks fourth.
Derek Jeter has spent his entire career with Yankees. As a shortstop, he hit the most hits and is still Yankees’ hit leader. He was elected to Baseball Hall of Fame in 2020 with a 99% vote rate.
This card is also the most valuable of the three Boss cards. He currently ranks first among MLB 25 shortstops. His high contact attribute allows him to make contact with the ball steadily, and his strength attribute of around 80 is enough for him to hit. And his Vision attribute has reached 80, which allows him to play well in higher difficulty.
Nolan Ryan has played for many teams, and this card represents his time with California Angels. His 22 wins and 16 losses in 1974 are still a record that Angels have not broken.
The starting pitchers in MLB 25 are all very strong, and 94 OVR Nolan Ryan ranks third among them. He is good at 4 pitching methods, but none of them are very high in control attributes.
You can get two of the bosses for free through 4th Inning Program. I recommend Nolan Ryan and Derek Jeter. All three of them are worth around 30,000 stubs. If you have enough stubs, you can go to the trade market to unlock the last boss which one you didn't choose.
In MLB The Show 25, you can often see players with quirks besides their attributes. When two players have the same Overall Rating and their attributes are close, the player with more quirks is often worth more stubs. There are even players whose attributes are not good enough, but they have 5 or even 10 quirks, which makes them get a high Overall Rating.
So how do these quirks work? Which players have more quirks?
Each quirk represents a condition. If this condition is met, the player can get an attribute improvement and gain strength beyond their stats.
Quirks do not work in isolation. As long as you meet the corresponding conditions, your players can get multiple improvements. For example, Night Player, Road Warrior and Rally Monkey, triggering these three quirks at the same time can greatly improve their attributes. This mechanism of improving strength in certain situations is very fascinating, and it allows your players to fight back and win like true stars on the court. That’s why players with more quirks tend to be worth more MLB The Show 25 stubs.
There are currently 20 quirks in MLB The Show 25. These quirks are not dispersed, and some quirks are shared only by a few players.
Here are all the quirks:
While some quirks are rare, such as Outlier II and Catcher Pop Time, which are possessed by less than 20 players, rarity does not mean power. A quirk that works frequently is more popular.
The quirks are judged by whether the quirk is easy to trigger and whether it lasts long enough. Quirks that last long or are not so hard to trigger belong to Tier A.
The quirks in Tier S are all quirks that last long and are not difficult to trigger. If the conditions are met, they will provide benefits to this player throughout the game.
These are some players with a lot of quirks, most of which are of great value. For example, Bobby Witt Jr. and Shohei Ohtani are perhaps the most valuable players in MLB 25, with both cards worth hundreds of thousands of MLB The Show 25 stubs.
But quirks don’t play a critical role. If the card’s attributes are not good enough, even if it has 11 or even 12 quirks, it will not make it into the top players. For example, Bobby Witt Jr. and Ketel Marte, both with 78 OVR, have 11 quirks, but their stats are too low, which makes them far inferior to their diamond cards.
There are also may top players in MLB The Show 25 with 5 to 8 quirks, which are the mainstays of players’ team building. Although the more quirks, the better, it also means that it is more difficult to unlock them and will cost you more stubs, so you’d better do it within your means.
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.
You need to decide whether to be a pitcher, catcher, baserunner or outfielder. Your various attributes determine whether your growth path is smooth. Besides attributes, there is also a talent tree system in RTTS, where you can set perks for your character to make him perform best in a specific state.
Depending on your position, perks mainly go in 4 directions:
The initial perks bring little improvement, but you can use MLB The Show 25 stubs to further improve the attributes of perks. Here are all the perks.
In addition to using Perks to bring improvements, you can also use tokens to permanently improve attributes, or use MLB The Show 25 stubs to exchange for Diamond equipment to provide temporary attribute bonuses to your character.
These are all the perks for MLB 25 RTTS mode. This is a mode that you need to invest in time and stubs, otherwise you may not successfully join your favorite team.
MLB The Show 25 is a baseball game that includes all the outstanding players from the last century to this century. You can either form a team you support or form a dream team with the best active players. You can even gather retired legends to form a legendary team.
There are many positions in baseball. If you want to form a legendary and powerful team, each player must be strong enough. Now let’s have a look at the most excellent players in each position.
Mike Piazza’s baseball career started with Dodgers in 1996 and ended with Mets in 2008. Although he is a catcher, he has hit 427 home runs in his career.
He is currently the best catcher, but he cannot play as a designated hitter, which makes his value very low, only 11,000 MLB The Show 25 stubs.
The best first baseman is naturally Gil Hodges, and his super high attributes make it difficult to dispute. Whether it is offense or defense, he is the best.
But you know it’s hard to get this card, so we’ll settle for the next best thing and choose the easier cards in the top five, which are Jeimer Candelario and Willie Stargell. Both cards can be obtained through MLB The Show 25 stubs trading, but Jeimer Candelario is more valuable, around 140,000 stubs, and Willie Stargell is 1/14 of him. You can make a choice based on your assets.
Brian Dozier announced his retirement in 2021, ending his eight-year career in the major leagues. Brian Dozier is good at hitting, and his performance in fielding is also good, but his speed is mediocre.
As the current top-ranked second baseman in MLB 25, you only need 15,000 stubs to get this card.
A seven-time All-Star and eight-time Gold Glove winner, Scott Rolen is an undisputed star on the field. But completing his collection is difficult, and as an alternative, you can choose José Ramírez, who is good at hitting but weak on defense.
Yordan Alvarez has won many honors since entering the major leagues in 2022. He has been selected as an All-Star for three consecutive years.
Yordan Alvarez can only play as a left fielder in MLB 25. He is very good at hitting and is also a rare left-handed hitter. The value of this card is about 110,000 stubs. If you don’t have many stubs, you can also exchange it for Lou Brock, who is worth about 7,000 stubs.
Right fielders have too many stars and each one is priced too high to be considered. If you can’t get one of these dominant players, then George Springer at 52,000 stubs is the last resort.
Center fielders don’t have as many stars, and three of the top five are untradable. If George Springer is already your right fielder, then choose Bernie Williams as your center fielder.
Some of the above are top-notch in terms of hitting, speed and defense. If you can’t sign Bobby Witt Jr. and Willi Castro, then choose Trevor Story.
This position is also full of stars. José Ramírez is the best designated hitter that ordinary players can get, with the first three 99 OVR monsters.
The starting pitcher is the most important part of the team’s defense. Fortunately, except for Roger Clemens, the conditions for obtaining excellent starting pitchers are not harsh. You need to prepare about 54,000 stubs to get a top pitcher.
There are many good relief pitchers, but the good news is that they are usually not very valuable. Even Eric Gagne, who is currently ranked first, only costs about 20,000 stubs.
If you have enough stubs, choose from the above players and build your team!
In MLB The Show 25, the batsman is a very important part of the offense. In the game, it is not only the overall rating that determines the strength of the batsman, but also the various attributes of the batsman and the way the opponent pitches.
Just like there are left-handed and right-handed pitchers, batsmen also have their own dominant hand. Some batsmen can handle pitches from both sides and can switch flexibly with their left and right hands, and these batsmen are switch-hitters. If your team has such a batsman, you don’t have to adjust your team frequently.
This card was officially launched on May 23 and is from Color Storm series. Xavier Edwards is the shortstop and second baseman of Marlins. His contact left and right attributes are at the top level of the game, and his speed, stolen bases and base running are also at the best level.
The weakness of this card is that its power attribute is relatively low, but he is very balanced in other aspects and it is not difficult to get. You only need to complete the Marlins’ mission to get this card, and no MLB The Show 25 stubs are required.
You can tell from the overall rating that he is very strong. Most of the data of 99 OVR Carlos Beltran is better than Xavier Edwards. The reason he is placed in the second place is that it is more difficult to get.
He is the top-ranked center fielder, right fielder and designated hitter in MLB 25. You need to complete All Live Collection quest to get this card, which will consume a lot of your MLB 25 stubs.
92 OVR Luis Rengifo was officially launched on May 15th. His batting attributes are already very good. If it is upgraded by Pitcher Captain, then this card will have no weaknesses.
This card is currently worth around 92,000 stubs. This is because he can be the second baseman, third baseman, shortstop, and left and right outfielder in your team, and it is a very flexible and versatile card.
89 OVR Ozzie Smith comes from 2nd Inning XP Path Program. His right hand power is relatively weak in batting, but his contact attributes are very good.
Ozzie Smith’s main position is shortstop, and he is particularly good at defense and speed. His 5 quirks make up for his lack of power to a certain extent.
81 OVR Geraldo Perdomo’s attributes don’t seem to be very good, but as a switch-hitter, Geraldo Perdomo’s data is very balanced and can play as a shortstop, second baseman and third baseman.
The way to get it is also easy. You only need 800 stubs to get this card, and he can get the bonus of both Hitter Captain and Pitcher Captain.
Chipper Jones is quite good at dealing with balls from the left side, whether he uses his left hand or right hand. He is similar to Geraldo Perdomo, both of whom can get the bonus of Hitter Captain and Pitcher Captain, but you need 4,700 stubs to unlock him, and Chipper Jones can only appear as a third baseman.
The reason why the card is placed at Rank 7, it is more difficult to get than All-Star Chipper Jones.
90 OVR Ted Simmons has two good hitting attributes, but his power is slightly lacking in comparison. Ted Simmons can help you defend as a left fielder, but his speed attribute is very poor. Another reason this card is placed in the eighth place is that it is a bit difficult to get, like 99 OVR Carlos Beltran.
92 OVR Jorge Posada is the second-ranked catcher in MLB 25. His batting attributes are very perfect, but he can only play as a catcher and designated hitter, and his value is too high which you need about 140,000 stubs to unlock it.
Jurickson Profar can play as a first baseman and left fielder, and after he gets all the bonuses, his batting attributes are among the top hitters. You can get this card through trading, and its current value is 21,000 stubs.
These switch-hitting may not be the best in terms of individual attributes, but in terms of difficulty to get them and all their attributes, they are the best switch-hitting.
