[LunarPhoenix]

Garret Anderson, a fan-favorite outfielder, is featured in MLB The Show 26 with two different versions of his card. Whether you're aiming for his iconic postseason performance or his rookie season, here's a full guide to unlocking both cards, from quick tribute programs to deeper quests.

91 OVR Postseason Garret Anderson

To get the 91 OVR Postseason Garret Anderson, you'll need to complete his Tribute Program. This program is different from most other player programs because it's designed to be completed quickly, with just one main requirement: hitting extra-base hits.

Unlocking the 91 OVR Postseason Card

Mission: Tally 6 extra-base hits (XBH) using any players in Diamond Dynasty modes.

Eligible Modes:

Single Player: You can complete this mission in modes like Play vs. CPU, Mini Seasons, Conquest, and Diamond Quest.

Multiplayer: The mission counts in Ranked, Ranked Co-op, Battle Royale, and Weekend Classic.

Once you complete the mission, you’ll unlock the 91 OVR Postseason Garret Anderson card, which celebrates his legendary 2002 postseason where he helped lead the Angels to a World Series title.

Card Profile

This version of Garret Anderson captures his standout 2002 season, including his leadership on offense with his clutch hitting. His contact against right-handed pitchers is 105, and against lefties, it’s 80. He brings decent power with 70 against righties and 83 against lefties. His clutch rating of 107 makes him a reliable hitter in pressure situations, and his vision is a solid 91. In the field, his fielding is at 68, and his arm is 79, while his speed is 64, making him more useful in the outfield than as a base stealer.

86 OVR Rookie Garret Anderson

In addition to the 91 OVR Postseason card, there’s also a lower-rated Diamond version of Garret Anderson available through the Broxton / Anderson Diamond Quest. This version of Anderson represents his early years in the MLB.
