MLB The Show 20 Ranked Seasons adds new rewards

With Pujols, gamers get a left fielder with the ability to play first, third, or right field. Pujols has 105 Contact Right, 96 Durability, 84 Power Left, 82 Vision, 90 Power Right, and 89 Control.
All-time great Ken Griffey Jr. from the Seattle Mariners was one of the Legacy player choices for MLB The Show 20 at launch. He now gets a new 95 overall item for Ranked Seasons.
The Kid has Diamond Hitting and Defense with this one. Attributes include 114 Discipline, 107 Power Right, 106 Control, 94 Fielding, 93 Reaction, 92 Arm, and 81 Speed. Griffey Jr’s Quirks with the card are Hitting Machine, Bomber, Walker, Soft Hands, Quick Reflexes, and Cannon.
Meanwhile, Future Stars player Dustin May gets the highest-rated new card of them all at 97 overall.
