MLB The Show 25 has dropped its newest Multiplayer Program, and fans have plenty to be excited about. Program 9: Drop 1 introduces a fresh batch of Awards Series cards, giving players new reasons to hit the online grind and upgrade their Diamond Dynasty squads.
Drop 1 Brings Big Names To Diamond Dynasty

The two stars of this Drop are the two dominant pitchers — Sandy Alcántara and Felix Bautista. Both debut as high-powered Award Cards that are already generating hype in the community. Alcantara is known for his elite control and high-velocity sinker, making him a solid starter for many lineups. On the other hand, you have Bautista’s insane fastball and nasty slider to help win more matches.
According to the official tweet from MLB The Show 25’s X profile, there are a total of six cards coming with this drop.
- Awards Sandy Alcántara
- Awards Felix Bautista
- Awards Tyler O’Neill
- Jin Kim Judy Johnson
- Jin Kim Toni Stone
- Milestone Matt Olson
Players can unlock these by earning XP by competing in Online matches. Sure, the matchmaking in the game hasn’t been great, but these rewards should motivate you to try multiplayer again. You can earn XP by racking up hits, strikeouts, and innings pitched to progress through the reward path. Each milestone comes with rewards to keep the grind worthwhile.
This structure follows The Show’s usual formula for Multiplayer Programs, acting as a mini-seasonal event that refreshes online play and injects new life into Diamond Dynasty. Drop 1 feels like the perfect setup for even bigger rewards in future drops.
If you’ve followed The Show’s content cycle this year, you’ll know these Programs often serve as mini-events within Diamond Dynasty. They not only give players new rewards to chase but also keep online matchmaking fresh with new team compositions every few weeks. Program 9 is shaping up to do exactly that.
So, start grinding to unlock your favorite cards and enjoy this Drop to the fullest.
