MLB The Show 21 10th Inning Program: How to Unlock Milestone Albert Pujols & Superfractor Parallel

MLB The Show 21 officially hit extra innings in Diamond Dynasty, as they unveiled the 10th Inning Program. With that, comes a new Conquest Map, challenges, and a collection to build. Each of the game’s Inning programs has also featured several Bosses. However, the 10th Inning Program is a tribute to just one player: Albert Pujols. They’ve unveiled a Milestone card in honor of the superstar slugger, and here’s how you can add him to your roster.

Milestone Albert Pujols added to MLB The Show 21

The Milestone Albert Pujols card officially became available for MLB The Show 21 Diamond Dynasty 10th Inning Program on Friday. It honors the 10-time All-Star, three-time MVP, and two-time World Series champion, who also ranks fifth all-time for MLB home runs. 

The Show released a cool trailer (below) showing off Pujols in action for the game with a look at the card art.

As one would expect, Pujols gets Diamond Hitting and Defense on the card. While first base is his primary position, gamers can also use him at third or in left field. Top attributes on the card (below) include 117 Contact Right, 125 Contact Left, 120 Power Right, 125 Power Left, and 115 Vision. For Defense, he’s got 86 Fielding, 85 Reaction, and 75 Arm Strength.
