Two-time All-Star and former CY Young winner Shane Bieber has an upgraded card now available in MLB The Show 21. Gamers can pick up his new Milestone card through the Shane Bieber 10th Inning Program in Diamond Dynasty. In this guide, we’ll show you what is required to complete the program and add the 99 OVR Diamond card for the Triple Crown pitcher.
Shane Bieber Milestone card in MLB The Show 21 Diamond Dynasty
Last week we saw a special Albert Pujols Diamond card become available in The Show’s Diamond Dynasty mode. On Tuesday (Dec. 14), Shane Bieber became the latest addition to MLB The Show 21 Diamond Dynasty 10th Inning Program. The Show unveiled the news on Twitter with card art which celebrates his major career accomplishment.
Bieber’s 99 overall Diamond card is based on his Triple Crown season. With his 2020 MLB season stats for the Cleveland Indians, he became the first pitcher to achieve the feat since Justin Verlander. The former Tigers ace accomplished it in his 2011 season with Detroit. Bieber’s shorter 2020 season included an 8-1 record, 122 strikeouts, and a 1.63 ERA, plus the Cy Young Award.
His new Triple Crown card can really bolster Diamond Dynasty players’ bullpens. Bieber’s new item features a 94 mph 4-Seam Fastball, 90 mph Cutter, 86 mph Changeup, and two additional pitches. Attributes include his 102 Stamina, 115 Hits over 9 innings, 108 Ks over 9, and 115 Plate Control.
Much like the Albert Pujols, it’s possible to unlock a Superfractor Parallel for Bieber by achieving various feats once you have his card. That includes pitching 20 innings, recording strikeouts, saves, wins, and more. See below for how to get the Bieber card in your bullpen.
Bieber is the latest Player Program made available in The Show. Previous stars to get Programs included Giants catcher Buster Posey as well as Hall of Famers Robin Yount and Catfish Hunter.
