6th Inning XP Path

The launch of MLB The Show 25’s Diamond Dynasty Season 6 brings exciting new content. One standout feature is the XP path, which includes an impressive lineup of rewards and new challenges. To reach Level 40, players need to navigate through 40 levels, earning a total of 400,000 XP. Interestingly, post Level 40 offers additional spins on the reward wheel for packs or stubs every time players accrue an extra 30,000 XP.

To maximize your XP earnings, consider the following activities:

• Compete in any game mode within Diamond Dynasty
• Progress through programs that provide XP boosts

For instance, completing the Multiplayer program grants an additional 110,000 bonus XP, positioning you well on your journey to the first boss pack.

The rewards in the 6th Inning XP path include various new cards at the following milestones:

• 7,500 XP: Cornerstone Evolution pack
• 27,500 XP: Cornerstone Evolution pack
• 70,000 XP: Cornerstone Evolution pack
• 135,000 XP: Kyle Seager 98 Overall Awards Series
• 205,000 XP: Boss Pack #1
• 330,000 XP: Boss Pack #2

Among the Cornerstone Evolution packs are 85 overall versions of players like Dontrelle Willis, Raul Ibanez, and Tony Oliva, each enabling you to engage with their Evolution program to achieve a 97 overall rating.

Season 6 Bosses

This season introduces three bosses to the XP program, all rated 99 overall—a first in the franchise. With a variety of talents available, these boss cards are set to enhance many players' lineups.

Corey Kluber, SP, Cleveland Guardians

Kluber's pitching profile garners mixed opinions, but there's no denying his effectiveness. He boasts a Hits per 9 rating of 100 and features a lethal pitch mix that includes a sinker, cutter, slider, and slurve. For players who know how to utilize this combo, he can be a game-changer, particularly with the Break Outlier quirk that reduces pitch break as he tires.

Ted Simmons, C, St. Louis Cardinals

Despite the stiff competition among catchers, Ted Simmons stands out thanks to his versatility, being capable of playing 1B, 3B, and LF. His switch-hitting ability further enhances his value, especially at a position that is relatively weak this year.

Chase Utley, 2B, Philadelphia Phillies

Chase Utley's attributes shine, particularly in hitting and defense. Able to fill in at 1B, he serves as a great option for players with existing strong lineups. However, his left-handed bat may be a slight drawback when facing many elite left-handed pitchers.

New Weekend Classic Content

The latest Weekend Classic event has introduced exclusive rewards. If you get a chance to secure a Weekend Classic pack, it's highly recommended to go for it, as one of the game’s top hitters, Manny Ramirez, is included this time.

Manny Ramirez, LF, Boston Red Sox

Having achieved a 5-1 record in Weekend Classic, I earned the coveted 99 overall card for Manny Ramirez. His attributes are exceptional, boasting superior contact and power ratings than most. While defensively listed as silver, he still represents a significant upgrade over other options like Kyle Schwarber or Juan Soto. Currently, this card trades above 80,000 stubs but is expected to see a price drop soon.

Ubaldo Jimenez, SP, Colorado Rockies

Despite a scarcity of top-tier Rockies cards this season, Jimenez proves to be a formidable pitcher. Although overshadowed by Ramirez, his skill set is undeniable—featuring strong 4-seam fastballs and a vile sinker that will challenge hitters effectively.

New Chase Pack

Chase packs in MLB The Show 25 often draw criticism for their pay-to-win implications. However, they remain a lesser concern than in similar franchises. Expect the latest Chase Pack to feature Jimmy Rollins, an elite shortstop for the Philadelphia Phillies, ready to make a big impact on your roster, albeit for over 300,000 stubs.

Some 6th Inning Tips

To efficiently rack up rewards and advance through Season 6, consider these strategies:

• Complete the 5th inning collection for an immediate 50,000 XP boost when starting the 6th inning. Many of the 5th inning bosses are currently affordable, eager to fill your collection.
• Engage in exchanges within the 6th Inning XP program—commonly held player cards are abundant and can help you generate XP quickly.
• If you don’t mind competitive play, prioritize finishing the Multiplayer program; a new update is expected on 7/29 that could yield over 100,000 XP.

Using these tips alongside acquiring free MLB The Show stubs can greatly enhance your progress in MLB The Show 25 and help you build a powerful team. Happy gaming!
