Hours after the first day of the 2025 MLB Draft, Sony released the ’25 Draft Program in MLB The Show 25. This came after the developers dropped two packs — On the Clock and Top 5 — that guaranteed certain players, depending on when they were taken. This program doesn’t give one of those packs. However, it does come with eight new Diamonds, plus one ’25 Draft pack with a shot at getting the 98-99 OVR cards.

These aren’t difficult missions. However, one should start with the Moments to at least unlock a few of the free cards.
Then, go to Conquest and do that one. If you want to complete the collection, you’ll need to get that done to get three Conquest-exclusive cards.
And for those interested in the optional player missions, Matt Holliday and Paul Skenes both have Team Affinity: My Journey cards.
MLB Draft Collection
Additionally, there is a collection for this series, much like other card series in MLB The Show 25.
Here’s a look at the attributes for each one:
Ike Irish
Kyson Witherspoon
Ethan Holliday
Eight are needed for the 97 OVR Irish, while 15 are required for Kyson Witherspoon. A total of 34 is needed for the final reward, 99 OVR Ethan Holliday.
Now, here’s a look at where these MLB Draft cards can be found:
- Collection: 2 (Irish & Witherspoon)
- Conquest: 3 (Cannarella, Curley, Q. Young)
- Packs: 23
- Program: 8
It should be noted that this collection is separate from the 2025 All-Star Series one. Thus, none of the cards for this collection count towards that one, and vice versa.
