Unlocking the 89 OVR Diamond World Baseball Classic (WBC) Didi Gregorius card in MLB The Show 26 is a thrilling achievement for any Diamond Dynasty player. This card brings a powerful "Righty Specialist" to your roster, especially valuable for those who need a solid third baseman with secondary positions at second base and shortstop.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to earn and unlock Didi Gregorius’ Diamond card:

How to Earn Progression Points

To unlock Didi Gregorius at the final milestone of the WBC Pool D Program, you'll need to earn 100 points. Here's how you can stack up those points efficiently:

  1. Moments:
    The easiest way to rack up points is through the WBC Moments available in the Pool D menu. You’ll complete 26 Moments, each earning 2 points for a total of 52 points. These Moments focus on specific challenges, such as hitting home runs or collecting a certain number of hits with WBC players. Complete them as quickly as possible to move toward your goal.
  2. WBC Showdown:
    The WBC Showdown is another essential task. By defeating the Final Boss in this showdown, you can earn 10 points for each pool program. This challenge is crucial as it helps you accumulate points for multiple programs at once, streamlining your path to the Diamond card.
  3. Parallel XP (PXP) & Gameplay Missions:
    Tally stats like Innings, Strikeouts, Hits, Extra Base Hits (XBH), and Home Runs (HRs) with your WBC Series players in any Diamond Dynasty mode. Completing these missions will grant you up to 50 points. This is a great way to combine your progress with regular gameplay, especially if you’ve already unlocked high-rated WBC cards like 85 OVR Juan Soto or 88 OVR Jackson Chourio, which will make completing these tasks easier.
  4. Collections:
    Don’t forget to collect other 89 OVR WBC stars from Pools A, B, and C. Each collection can earn you bonus points, helping you reach the milestone quicker.
