6TH INNING PROGRAM

After nearly five months, SDS has finally given players an end-game Ken Griffey Jr. card. While the player base for MLB The Show 19 is still formidable, it’s certainly declined since the release of Madden 20. Signature Series cards like Babe Ruth, Tom Seaver, Albert Pujols and Chipper Jones, among others, have still not been released to this point.

Overall, Diamond Dynasty is welcoming 11 new legends and flashback cards today. All of these cards are obtainable by either completing 6th Inning Program milestones, opening packs or buying them from the marketplace. The six below are from the 6th Inning Program.

  • Matt Carpenter, Diamond 95 overall, Signature Series, Cardinals 3B
  • Catfish Hunter, Diamond 95 overall, Signature Series, Athletics SP
  • Dante Bichette, Diamond 95 overall, Signature Series, Rockies RF
  • Lefty Grove, Diamond 87 overall, Veteran Flashback, Red Sox SP
  • Mark Melancon, Diamond 85 overall, All-Star Flashback, Pirates CP
  • Eric Davis, Diamond 85 overall, Veteran Flashback, Giants RF

HEADLINERS SET 19

Additionally, Headliners Set 19 packs are in the pack shop, featuring two new diamonds. Signature Series Fergie Jenkins and Nelson Cruz are this set’s featured players. Both cards sit at 97 overall. Check out their ratings and card art below.

PATCH 1.16 NOTES

Early this morning, SDS released Patch 1.16. Today’s patch is small in size and unlikely to have a major impact on the game. However, it does fix a few bugs that were certainly frustrating during online play. Per TheShowNation, here are the key points of the patch notes:

  • Fixed an issue that would trigger a pitcher ejection on a pitch on the inside part of the plate.
  • Fixed an issue that would result in the 2nd baseman not immediately being able to throw after catching a ball from the catcher during a steal or rundown attempt. (specific to Button Accuracy)
  • Fixed a specific occurrence where the catcher would not attempt to tag a runner crossing home plate.

You can read the complete notes for Patch 1.16 by clicking here.

Lastly, MLB The Show released a schedule for upcoming content drops, live streams and much more. With #GriffeyWeek now in the rear-view mirror, here is the full schedule for the upcoming week.
