MLB The Show 26: Unlocking April Program Chipper Jones

[lUCasYOUNg939]

Collection Requirements
Target: 16 Spotlight Series cards
Total Pool: 18 cards from April Spotlight Drops 1–5
Intermediate Reward: Collect 10 cards to unlock 93 OVR Jose Soriano, which counts toward Chipper’s 16-card requirement

This setup means you don’t need every card, but missing the right ones can slow you down if you rely solely on gameplay rather than the Marketplace.

How to Obtain the Required Cards

Because Spotlight Series cards come from packs, completing this collection can be costly if you buy them with Stubs. Here’s how to minimize spending:

April Showcase Event: Completing this event gives 4 Spotlight Packs. These packs give you a chance to pull the required cards for free.
Program Progress: Working through April Spotlight Drop 5’s XP path can yield additional packs or unlock progress toward the collection.
Marketplace: For any remaining cards, purchase them with Stubs. Focus on only the missing cards to avoid unnecessary spending.

Smart grinding through events and programs can save hundreds of thousands of Stubs compared to buying every card outright.

94 OVR Chipper Jones (Retro Lightning 2005) Stats

This Retro Lightning card celebrates Chipper’s outstanding April 2005 performance. Key stats include:

Hitting: 102 CON R / 106 CON L with strong power (85 POW R / 75 POW L)
Versatility: Switch-hitting third baseman with 90 Vision and maxed 125 Discipline

This card excels as a high-contact, versatile threat in your Diamond Dynasty lineup. With his combination of power, plate discipline, and quirks, he can change a game in any inning.

Pro Tip: Focus first on the packs you can earn for free through events and programs. Only buy missing cards from the Marketplace. That way, you maximize efficiency while building your ultimate April Retro Lightning Chipper Jones collection.
