Ken Griffey Jr., one of baseball’s all-time greats, is a must-have for any Diamond Dynasty squad in MLB The Show 26. Here’s a clear guide on how to add him to your team, from the legendary 95 OVR Chase Pack version to earlier cards you can buy or earn.

1. Chase Pack 9 (95 OVR All-Star Edition)

This is the most popular version of Griffey, often called “The Kid.”

• The Card: 95 OVR All-Star Series, elite at both hitting and fielding.
• How to Get It:
  • XP Reward Path: Complete the 3rd Inning XP Path. At certain milestones, you can earn Chase Pack 9 as a high-tier reward.
  • Bundles: Buying a 50-Pack Bundle from the Pack Shop guarantees one Chase Pack 9.
  • Luck: There’s a tiny chance to pull it from any standard “The Show” pack, but don’t rely on luck alone.

2. Digital Deluxe Pre-Order Pack

If you bought the Digital Deluxe Edition, you got a Legend Choice Pack.

• The Choice: You could pick Ken Griffey Jr. directly from the pack, along with other legends like Roy Halladay or Chipper Jones. This is an easy and guaranteed way to grab him early.

3. Community Market (87 OVR All-Star Edition)

For players not chasing the ultra-rare 95 OVR, the Community Market offers a quicker option.

• The Card: 87 OVR All-Star Series, based on Griffey’s 1991 season.
• Cost: Usually between 9,000–11,000 Stubs.
• Tip: This is the fastest way to get him if you don’t want to rely on packs or XP paths.

4. Upcoming Program Rewards

San Diego Studio often adds new Griffey cards during the season. Keep an eye out for:

• End Game Cards: Historically, a 99 OVR Griffey drops later in the summer via Collections or Extreme Programs.
• Pro Tip: Check the 3rd Inning Program missions regularly. Completing stat missions with Mariners players or Outfielders can accelerate your XP path, bringing you closer to the Chase Pack 9 reward faster.
