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.
The Conquest Map in MLB The Show 25 is a fun single-player mode that rewards you with stubs, free card packs, and even highly rated players.
In addition to the obvious rewards, most Conquest Maps actually have some hidden rewards. Obtaining these rewards can help you build a strong team in Diamond Dynasty mode. Let’s take a look at the rewards for each map.
Hidden rewards:
USA map is divided into three parts: West, Central, and East. In addition to the hidden rewards, this map contains Cole Young and Josue De Paula, who have a total score of 83. This will help you complete the collection of Pipeline series.
Hidden Rewards:
The hidden rewards for the three USA maps are very similar. The regular rewards for East Map are also Pipeline cards, both with a total score of 83: Brayden Taylor and Thomas White.

Conquest Maps will continue to be released. As long as you can successfully complete all Conquest Maps, you will gain a lot of resources to build a strong team in Diamond Dynasty mode. In addition, the players you obtain in Conquest Map mode cannot be obtained through trading. If you want to complete the collection task, you must obtain Conquest rewards.
Cornerstone Captains system in MLB The Show 24 can improve the strength of players with lower total ratings. In MLB The Show 25, this system has been changed to Cornerstone Evolution. Even ordinary cards have a chance to be evolved.
Cornerstone Evolution and FC series player evolutions sound similar, but they are actually very different. You can think of these evolution as a small battle pass, which will provide MLB The Show 25 packs and stubs, and the latter reward of Cornerstone Evolution is the player’s Cornerstone card.
Cornerstone Evolution usually appears in Inning Program. The current one is 2nd Inning Program. The players that can be evolved are:
The players who can be evolved are all 80 OVR, and their Cornerstone cards are all 87 OVR.
In addition, in 1st Inning Program in March, the cards that can be evolved are:
These cards are originally 79 OVR, and the evolved cards are 85 OVR.
Currently, the cards that can be evolved can only be done in the corresponding Inning Program. If you missed their Cornerstone Evolution, you can’t evolve them again.
Complete five moments (25 points - 5 points each)
80 OVR Tony Clark Missions:
Stat Missions:
80 OVR Tony Clark is a 2nd Inning XP Path reward that cannot be obtained through MLB The Show 25 Stubs trade. Tony Clark is a first baseman with 6 Quirks, while 87 OVR Cornerstone Tony Clark has a boost in hitting, making him a good switch-hitter.
80 OVR Tony Clark is a Veteran hitter, and you can also choose 84 OVR Rafael Palmeiro and 79 OVR Adam Dunn, 87 OVR Gary Sheffield.
Complete five moments (25 points - 5 points each)
80 OVR J.D. Martinez Missions:
Stat Missions:
80 OVR J.D. Martinez is also from 2nd Inning XP Path. He is a Tigers left fielder who evolves into a Red Sox player. 87 OVR J.D. Martinez is a very good hitter, but his vision attribute is low.
Contributor series has many good hitters, such as 88 OVR Adrian Beltre, who now needs about 40,000 stubs, 87 OVR Terry Pendleton and 88 OVR Mike Napoli. They can all help you complete Stat Missions effectively.
Complete five moments (25 points - 5 points each)
80 OVR Bruce Sutter Missions:
Stat Missions:
80 OVR Bruce Sutter is a Cardinals closer from Veteran Series, while 87 OVR Bruce Sutter is a Cubs pitcher. The evolved Bruce Sutter has all his pitching attributes improved, making this card the ninth-best player pitcher currently.
To complete Stat Missions, you need a Veteran Series pitcher. Besides 80 OVR Bruce Sutter, you can also choose 79 OVR Joe Kelly, 86 OVR Liam Hendriks, and 90 OVR Johan Santana.
Once 2nd Inning Program ends, you can no longer obtain these three Cornerstone cards, so it is recommended that you complete these missions as quickly as possible. Among them, 87 OVR Bruce Sutter is the most valuable card in my opinion.
MLB The Show 25 releases new cards every once in a while, and they launched another new program in mid-April. This program brings us cards from The Negro Leagues.
Jackie Robinson Day Program is to commemorate Jackie Robinson, the first African diaspora player in the modern history of Major League Baseball. The rewards of this program include five new diamond cards, including an overall score of 89 Jackie Robinson shortstop card.
Besides Diamond Cards, the rewards of Jackie Robinson Day Program also include card packs, XP, and MLB The Show 25 Stubs. You can unlock the rewards of this program by completing various activities and accumulating points. This program does not expire, so you can complete it slowly.
The specific rewards are as follows:
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.
You need to complete this program by collecting points. Here’s how you earn points:
Negro League Missions:
Optional Storyline Collections:
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.
If you want to collect Larry Doby 89 OVR and John Donaldson 90 OVR, here are the 20 cards from The Negro Leagues and how to get them:
The above are the rewards and cards of Jackie Robinson Day Program. Although most of the cards are not necessarily powerful, they are definitely worth collecting. Among them, I think the cards of Larry Doby and Jackie Robinson are the most valuable.
MLB 25 has released a lot of cards since its release. Many of the new cards are powerful and surpass the cards that were released when the game was first released. So let’s take a look at which cards performed best in April.
Contributor Mike Napoli and Awards Ted Simmons are two collector cards and the best catchers in the game at present. Both cards have 7 Quirks.
Although Mike Napoli’s total score is only 88 points, his Power and Contact attributes are amazing, while Ted Simmons is a little lacking in power.
Negro Leagues Josh Gibson has a 90 OVR, but this card has no Quirks, so it can only be ranked fourth.
Gil Hodges, with an OVR of 99, is a reward from NL Live Series and cannot be traded on the free market through MLB The Show 25 Stubs. This card has almost all 99 attributes and has 7 Quirks. It will be difficult for other cards to surpass this card for quite some time.
At 92, Jason Kipnis is a bonus for AL Central Collection. He handles pitches from the right side perfectly and has 6 Quirks, which makes this card hard to beat.
Ketel Marte handles pitches from the left side perfectly and has an amazing 11 Quirks! Unlike Jason Kipnis, he can be traded in the free market and is currently valued at around 110,000 stubs.
All-Star Rafael Devers is from Chase Pack 3 and was added to the game on March 28. He can hit as a left-hander. And he is not the only left-hander. Chase Headley is also powerful, but his contact attributes on the left side are a bit lacking.
Bobby Witt Jr. is an all-around player who has great batting, defense, baserunning and stealing. Francisco Lindor is slightly inferior because of his 59 speed.
The way to get New Threads Anthony Santander is to complete New Threads Collection. He is a switch-hitter and his Power attribute is over 99 for both his left and right hands!
Another 99 OVR card. You need to complete All Live Collection to get this Signature Carlos Beltran. Even though he has two relatively low statistics, it is hard to say that this is a flaw. From the perspective of various statistics, it is almost a perfect card.
Although his overall rating is a little lower than Juan Soto, Mike Trout is currently the best outfielder. Juan Soto is inferior in speed and fielding.
Roger Clemens 99 OVR card may stay at the top for a long time, but when you see that most of his stats are 99, you will understand that this card is currently the most dominant pitcher in MLB 25.
Although it is difficult to get Awards Roger Clemens, you can choose Randy Johnson, whose attributes are also top-notch and are currently worth around 170,000 stubs.
Egg Hunt Lucas Erceg is a card added to the game on April 18 and can be obtained through Egg Hunt Diamond Quest. Lucas Erceg’s attributes are all top-tier, and the only limitation is that he only has 25 Stamina, but Stamina is not that important for a relief pitcher.
These are the best cards for each position in April. As more classic players return, this list may change soon.
April 20, 2025 is Easter, and the most representative of this day is Easter eggs and Easter bunnies. MLB The Show 25 also launched Egg Hunt Program on this holiday. Players need to collect seven different egg vouchers in various activities to redeem rewards.
Egg Hunt Program has 10 rewards. The rewards do not include MLB 25 stubs, but there are many more valuable items than stubs:
Jazz Chisholm Jr. is a left-handed hitter who is good at handling pitches from the right side. However, his strength is speed, so you can use him as a shortstop in your team.
Riley Greene is also a left-handed hitter who is better at handling pitches from the right side than Jazz Chisholm Jr., and he often plays as an outfielder in MLB.
Logan O’Hoppe has fast reaction stats and is better as a catcher than a hitter. If you are missing a good catcher, then Logan O’Hoppe can basically meet your requirements.
Joe Boyle is a good pitcher with good stats, but he has no Quirks, which limits the performance of this card. However, you only need 10 points to get him, so there is no need to ask for more from him.
Similar to other programs, Egg Hunt Program can be progressed by completing Moments, Missions, and other miscellaneous tasks. However, because of the existence of Eggs, this program is completed differently.
Here’s how you get 100 points:
If you don’t have a high-rated player, you can also complete the mission with a low-rated player. Although this will make the mission more difficult, it can save you stubs.
Finding Easter eggs can be said to be the most fun activity in Egg Hunt Program. There are 7 Easter eggs and you only need to find 5 to get a voucher.
Finding Easter eggs yourself will have the most fun, but if you can’t find them, the following content may help you. All Easter eggs are basically concentrated in Diamond Dynasty:
In addition to the rewards from Egg Hunt Program, you can also get new cards by collecting cards from Egg Hunt series cards.
Egg Hunt Program series has 30 cards, with the highest rating being 90 Overall Rating and the lowest being 85 Overall Rating. Jacob deGrom is the only 90-rated card in this series, and can only be obtained through collection, and is currently not traded through MLB The Show 25 Stubs.
Egg Hunt pack contains 20 players. Here are the individual players and their ratings:
Lucas Erceg and Rickey Henderson need you to complete Egg Hunt Diamond Quest to get, and Anthony Volpe needs you to complete Bunny Ears Conquest Map to get.
The above are the rewards and cards of Egg Hunt Program. Some players may find that they cannot complete the task in Mini Mission. This task may indeed have some bugs. You can wait for the developer to fix it.
