The 95 OVR All-Star Series Ken Griffey Jr.was recently added to MLB The Show 26 as the featured player for Chase Pack 9. Unlike program rewards you can grind for directly, this card is mostly obtained through luck or spending Stubs. Here’s how to get him and make the most out of his card.



How to Acquire the 95 OVR Ken Griffey Jr.



Chase Pack 9 is the only pack that features the 95 OVR Griffey. You can get it in several ways:



3rd Inning XP Reward Path

Reach the "Wheel" at the end of the 3rd Inning XP path. Landing the reward gives you a chance to earn Chase Pack 9.

The Show 50-Pack Bundles

Every purchase of a 50-pack bundle from the Show Shop guarantees one Chase Pack 9. This is the most reliable method if you’re ready to invest Stubs.

Standard Packs

There’s a small chance to pull a Chase Pack 9 inside any individual "The Show" pack, but luck is required.

Community Marketplace

If you prefer not to gamble on packs, you can buy him directly from other players. In early May 2026, prices ranged from roughly 200,000–220,000 Stubs.
