Program Rewards

• 1,000 Stubs
• 10,000 XP
• 2025 Postseason player cards:
• • Andrew Vaughn
  • Jared Koenig
  • Caleb Durbin
  • Jake Bauers
  • Chad Patrick
  • Yoshinobu Yamamoto - #8 SP Meta Overall
  • Tommy Edman - #1 2B; #6 3B/SS Meta Overall

Not only do the Dodgers make it to the World Series, but they also get two pretty sweet cards in the program. Yamamoto has his trademark disgusting pitch mix, complete with a 4-Seamer that touches 100 MPH and a Splitter with max Break and Control. Edman is a switch-hitter that can play 2B, 3B, SS, and CF with 99 Fielding which gives him a Diamond shield at every position. He also has 99 Reaction and 88 Speed, making him an incredible asset in the field as well as being very well rounded offensively.

2025 Postseason Collection Update

Joining Aaron Judge in the collection is, unsurprisingly, Shohei Ohtani. As if the biggest superstar in the sport hasn't been impressive enough, his signature game of the year saw him strikeout 10 Brewers hitters on the mound while hitting 3 home runs at the plate. The dude is unbelievable and a real life video game character.

Collect 33 2025 Postseason cards to unlock Ohtani. The Meta Overall ratings appear to be underselling this card. Ohtani has an amazing swing at the plate, and the offensive attributes in the major categories aside from Vision are 110+ which is beyond elite. On the mound, Shohei gets an Outlier 4-Seamer with the Sweeper/Cutter/Splitter/Sinker mix with respectable control across the board, as the 83 Control on his Sinker is the lowest rating he has.

The card is nuts, and at this point, it's pretty much what we expect to see from 99 overall endgame Ohtani cards. It's possible we see a "better" version when Finest hits, but considering this card is free just for grinding the 2025 Postseason content - the value is simply off the charts.

Stay tuned for the conclusion of the Toronto Blue Jays/Seattle Mariners ALCS for the next program. After that, it's World Series content time!
