Eligibility Changes: The 95 Overall Cap Increase

Previously, only players rated 91 overall or MLB The Show 25 Stubs lower received captain boosts. Now, with the increase to 95 overall, star-level cards can also benefit, which is a game-changer.



This allows players to:



Include some of the top-performing cards in theme teams.



Blend captains with God Squad-level players.



Increase the competitive viability of theme squads.



Dual Captain System: Hitting and Pitching Captains

Instead of a single captain, every team now has two captains: one focusing on hitting, the other on pitching.



This system adds depth by:



Allowing teams to unlock dual Tier 3 boosts for hitting and pitching stats.



Promoting balanced roster construction — you can’t just load up on hitters or pitchers.



Increasing the variety and complexity of theme team builds.



For example, stacking 18 players from a team might unlock both hitting and MLB The Show 25 Stubs for sale pitching Tier 3 bonuses, dramatically improving overall team performance.
