In MLB The Show 26, the 91 OVR Milestone Chone Figgins is a versatile switch-hitter who can be a game-changer early in Diamond Dynasty. Primarily listed at third base, he also performs well at 2B, SS, LF, CF, and RF, making him an ideal utility player for flexible lineups.

How to Unlock Chone Figgins

To add Figgins to your squad, you need to complete the AL West Live Series Collection by collecting all Live Series players from the five teams in the division:

  • Los Angeles Angels
  • Houston Astros
  • Seattle Mariners
  • Texas Rangers
  • Oakland Athletics

Tips for Collection

  • Prioritize Mini Seasons: Focus on the New Thread Mini Season and aim to win 11 games on All-Star difficulty. This will help you build a solid stub bank and card collection early in the season.
  • Market Management: Sell high-value cards from packs when demand is high to fund purchases of expensive AL West gatekeepers like Yordan Alvarez or Mike Trout.
  • Skip Standard Packs: Instead of gambling on packs, use your stubs on the Community Marketplace to fill gaps in your AL West roster. This method is far more efficient and cost-effective.
