Summary
Francisco Lindor reached 300 career home runs on September 27, and MLB The Show 26 Stubs added a new Milestone Player Program to celebrate the achievement. The featured reward is a 99 OVR Milestone Francisco Lindor for Diamond Dynasty. The Program offers 350 total points, but you only need 300 points to unlock Lindor. By focusing on the most efficient objectives, you can skip two slower Missions and still reach the final reward.
1. Lindor Milestone Program Rewards
The reward path includes several smaller rewards before the 99 OVR Lindor card:
50 Points: 2,500 XP
100 Points: MLB The Show 26 Pack
150 Points: 2,500 XP
200 Points: Ballin’ is a Habit Pack
250 Points: 2,500 XP
300 Points: 99 OVR Milestone Francisco Lindor
The Program has five Moments worth 50 points in total, with each Moment awarding 10 points.
2. Complete the Program Missions
The remaining Missions provide 300 points combined:
100 Points: Hit 30 home runs with any players
100 Points: Score 129 runs with any players
50 Points: Earn 2,000 PXP with Mets and/or Guardians players
25 Points: Win four games in any game mode
25 Points: Earn 750 PXP with any Francisco Lindor player item
The five Lindor Moments are based on his home runs and can be completed on Veteran difficulty, making them a good starting point.
3. Fastest Route to 99 OVR Lindor
You do not need every Mission. The most direct 300-point combination is:
Complete all five Moments - 50 points
Hit 30 home runs - 100 points
Score 129 runs - 100 points
Earn 2,000 PXP with Mets and/or Guardians players - 50 points
This gives you exactly 300 points and unlocks the 99 OVR Milestone Francisco Lindor. The four-win Mission and 750 Lindor PXP Mission can therefore be skipped if your only goal is the final card.
4. How to Grind the Objectives Efficiently
Start with the five Moments because they provide 50 guaranteed points. For the other objectives, use a lineup with as many eligible Mets and Guardians players as possible. This allows you to make progress toward the 2,000 PXP requirement while also working on runs and home runs.
The 30 home run and 129 run objectives are available with any players, so choose a game mode where you can score consistently and finish games quickly. You can also use power hitters to accelerate home run progress while your Mets and Guardians players collect PXP.
There is no need to spend a large amount of cheap MLB 26 Stubs for this Program. Your existing Diamond Dynasty roster should be enough to complete the required objectives.
5. 99 OVR Milestone Francisco Lindor
The new Lindor card combines hitting, defense, speed, and switch-hitting. His ability to bat from either side of the plate is particularly useful against both right- and left-handed pitchers. His defensive ratings also make him a natural shortstop option, while his speed adds value on the bases.
Before making him a starter, compare his attributes, defense, speed, and swing with the shortstop already on your roster.
6. Quick Completion Strategy
The easiest approach is to overlap objectives rather than complete them separately. Finish the five Moments first, then use Mets and Guardians players while building progress toward 30 home runs, 129 runs, and 2,000 PXP.
If you naturally complete the four-win or Lindor PXP Mission, the extra points provide additional flexibility, but neither is required. Once you reach 300 Program Points, redeem the 99 OVR Milestone Francisco Lindor and add him to your Diamond Dynasty lineup.
