MLB The Show 20 Diamond Dynasty: April Monthly Awards Program Overview

This article is over 4 years old and may contain outdated information

While there is no MLB season going on right now, the Diamond Dynasty folks have still released a Monthly Awards Program. This program was usually reserved for the best players from the real season, but instead it looks like they’ll be going into the archives to bring back past legends from prior seasons. Much of the April Monthly Awards Program is hidden right now because there are not enough points to unlock everything. In addition, there are no packs associated with the Monthly Awards as of now, which is also a change of pace from the past (albeit not one I’m against).

With that in mind, here is where we’re at so far with the program.

Goals/Rewards

april monthly rewards program

Be aware, these programs are gated, so while you could in theory get over 25 points, you will be locked after you get enough points to get the Zimmerman at 25 points. The same will hold true for the rest of the program. In other words, you don’t get to “bank” extra points so don’t try to do everything — just what you want and need to get to the next threshold. I will highlight what the major known goals are so far:

  • 15 points
    • The Show pack
  • 25 points
    • Diamond Ryan Zimmerman
