The Francisco Lindor Player Program is now live in MLB The Show 26 Diamond Dynasty, giving players a chance to earn a 99 OVR Milestone Francisco Lindor card without depending on packs. The program celebrates Lindor reaching 300 career home runs and offers a fairly straightforward grind built around Moments, PXP, runs, home runs, and wins. If you are looking for a strong shortstop to add to your lineup, this is a program worth working through, especially if you are saving your MLB Stubs for other Diamond Dynasty needs.

Francisco Lindor Program Rewards

The main target is the 99 OVR Milestone Francisco Lindor, which requires 300 program points. You do not need to spend anything to unlock him, but completing the program efficiently will save a lot of time.

Along the reward path, players can also pick up:

• Three 2,500 XP rewards
• One standard MLB The Show 26 Pack
• One Ballin' is a Habit Pack
• 99 OVR Milestone Francisco Lindor at 300 points

The reward structure makes the program useful even before reaching the final card, since the extra XP and packs can help with other Diamond Dynasty programs.

How to Earn Program Points

Start with the five Francisco Lindor Moments. Each one awards 10 points, giving you 50 points in total. Every Moment requires you to hit a home run with Lindor on Veteran difficulty.

After finishing the Moments, move on to the gameplay missions. There are several objectives that can be completed naturally while playing your preferred modes:

• 100 points: Hit 30 home runs with any players
• 100 points: Score 129 runs in any game mode
• 50 points: Earn 2,000 PXP with Mets and/or Guardians players
• 25 points: Win four games in any mode
• 25 points: Earn 750 PXP with a Francisco Lindor player item

This is where having enough buy MLB Stubs currency can be useful for building a deeper lineup, although the program itself is designed to be completed through gameplay.

The Fastest Way to Finish

You can stack several objectives at the same time instead of completing every mission separately. Build a lineup featuring Mets and Guardians players, then take it into Conquest, Mini Seasons, or Play vs. CPU.

The 30-home-run and 129-run missions will naturally progress as you play. At the same time, your Mets and Guardians players will collect PXP toward the 2,000-PXP objective. Put Francisco Lindor into the lineup as well so you can work on his 750 PXP mission without needing a separate grind later.

For the home-run objective, use your strongest power hitters near the top of the batting order. Veteran difficulty also makes the Lindor Moments relatively manageable, so knock those out first and collect the easy 50 points.

Is 99 OVR Lindor Worth Adding?

The new Milestone Lindor is particularly interesting because he combines switch-hitting with the all-around skill set expected from a high-end shortstop. His Live Series card is already a 90 OVR with 84 fielding and 76 stealing, along with useful quirks such as Dead Red, Unfazed, Bad Ball Hitter, and Table Setter.

Players who used the 95 OVR Awards Series Lindor from the 3rd Inning XP Reward Path will also have an idea of what makes him useful. That earlier version competed with Juan Soto as one of the two 95 OVR boss choices, while this new card gives Lindor another opportunity to become a fixture in Diamond Dynasty lineups.

Once the program is complete, you will have a 99 OVR Milestone shortstop without having to rely on the market. If you are still filling out your Diamond Dynasty roster, you can also buy MLB Stubs for additional roster-building options.

Final Tips

Do not treat every mission as a separate task. The easiest approach is to combine them in one lineup and let the objectives progress together. Mets and Guardians hitters can handle the PXP requirement while also helping with runs and home runs, and Lindor can steadily finish his personal PXP objective. The Francisco Lindor Player Program is ultimately a simple gameplay grind with a strong payoff.
