MLB The Show 26 has added a new Pete Alonso Player Program to Diamond Dynasty, giving players a straightforward way to earn a 99 OVR Milestone Pete Alonso. The program celebrates Alonso reaching the 300-home-run milestone and is built around Moments, Missions, PXP, and game wins. If you are saving MLB Stubs for bigger roster upgrades, this program is especially useful because the main reward can be earned through gameplay.

Pete Alonso Program Reward

The program uses a 300-point reward path. Five featured Moments are worth 50 points, while the remaining points come from stat-based Missions, PXP objectives, and wins.

The main objectives include:

• Earn 53 extra-base hits with any players.
• Record 170 total bases.
• Earn 2,000 PXP with Mets and/or Orioles players.
• Win 2 games in any Diamond Dynasty mode.
• Earn 750 PXP with a Pete Alonso card.

There are also XP rewards, an MLB The Show pack, and a Ballin' Is a Habit pack along the way. Players looking to buy MLB Stubs do not need to do so for this program, since the important rewards are tied to the gameplay path.

Fastest Way To Complete The Program

The easiest approach is to combine several objectives instead of completing them separately.

1. Finish the five Moments first

This immediately gives you 50 points and puts the program on the board.

2. Build a Mets/Orioles lineup

Use as many eligible players as possible while working toward the 2,000 PXP requirement. Playing naturally is much more efficient than switching lineups after every objective.

3. Chase extra-base hits and total bases together

Use your strongest power hitters in Conquest, Mini Seasons, or Play vs. CPU. Doubles, triples, and home runs can help advance both stat categories.

4. Get Alonso PXP afterward

Once you have a Pete Alonso card available, put him at first base or DH and work toward 750 PXP. If you have cheap MLB Stubs available, resist the temptation to rebuild your lineup just for this task—the program itself does not require an expensive squad.

99 OVR Pete Alonso Attributes

The Milestone Alonso is clearly designed around power hitting. He has 125 Power against right-handed pitching and 125 Power against left-handed pitching, along with 105 Contact versus righties, 96 Contact versus lefties, 103 Clutch, and 84 Vision.

That makes him particularly useful as a middle-of-the-order bat. His speed and defense are less impressive, so first base or DH is the natural place for him.

His hitting quirks also support his role. Dead Red helps against fastballs, while First-Pitch Hitter and Unfazed can be useful in different at-bat situations. Homebody, Rally Monkey, and Day Player add further situational bonuses.

Best Modes For Grinding

You do not have to finish every objective in the same mode. A simple rotation works well:

• Moments: Complete the five featured challenges first.
• Conquest: Good for combining PXP with extra-base hits.
• Mini Seasons: Useful for longer stat grinds and repeated at-bats.
• Play vs. CPU: A relaxed option when you want control over the matchup.
• Events: Let competitive players work on program progress while playing online.

The program also arrives alongside September Spotlight Drop 2, new programs, Mini Seasons, Diamond Quest, an Event Program, and a Legends & Flashbacks Collection. This makes September 18 a good time to stack objectives rather than grinding each reward path independently.

Should You Add Pete Alonso?

For power-focused Diamond Dynasty teams, Alonso is a straightforward option at first base or DH. His elite power gives him value even if you already have several strong hitters, while Mets and Orioles theme-team players have additional reasons to complete the program.

If you still need currency for other roster moves, MLB Stubs for sale can be considered separately, but the Alonso program itself is primarily a gameplay grind. Complete the Moments, combine the stat objectives, and let your normal Diamond Dynasty games do most of the remaining work.
