If you’re playing MLB The Show 26, getting Chipper Jones on your Diamond Dynasty team is a huge power move. This legendary third baseman has two main versions you can grab right now. Here’s the breakdown:

1. April Retro Lightning Collection (94 OVR)

This is the best version of Chipper currently available. It’s part of the Spotlight Series, and it packs serious offensive firepower.

How to Get It:

You need to collect 16 Spotlight Series cards from the April drops.

Where to Find Cards:

Earn them by completing the April Spotlight Program (Drops 1–5).

Or buy them directly from the Marketplace if you want to skip the grind.

Why He’s Top Tier:

Switch-hitter with insane stats: 102/106 Contact, 105 Clutch.

One of the best offensive third basemen in the game right now.

Perfect for stacking in high-stakes Conquest or online matchups.

2. “Last Ride” Series (87 OVR)

If you’re new to the game or on a budget, this Core card is a solid alternative.

How to Get It:

Purchase directly from the Marketplace.

Current Cost:

Around 6,000–7,500 Stubs.

Utility:

Being a Core card, you can use him in any Season without worrying about set restrictions.

Great way to get Chipper on your squad while working toward higher-tier versions.

3. Future Versions

Keep an eye on Team Affinity chapters and Seasonal Programs later in the year. Chipper is a fan favorite, so 99 OVR versions—like Retro Finest or Milestone cards—usually drop during summer or fall cycles.

Pro Tip:

Before buying anything, check the April Spotlight Program. Many of the 16 cards needed for the Retro Lightning Collection can be earned for free by completing Moments and Missions, saving you tons of Stubs.
