90 OVR Pipeline Past Mickey Moniak

• Contact Right: 102
• Contact Left: 94
• Power Right: 60
• Power Left: 45
• Vision: 84
• Discipline: 54
• Clutch: 98
• Bunt: 35
• Drag Bunt: 25
• Durability: 95

Mickey Moniak is from Phillies and can play center, left, and right field. He only has two quirks and ranks outside the top 40 in all positions. But that doesn’t mean this card is not strong.

Mickey Moniak’s power is weak, and his strongest points are his defense and speed. Good defense is the key to winning in MLB.

91 OVR Pipeline Past Gerrit Cole

• Stamina: 95
• H/9: 88
• K/9: 84
• BB/9: 80
• HR/9: 94
• Pitch Clutch: 93
• Control: 81
• Velocity: 99
• Break: 99

Gerrit Cole is the starting pitcher for Pirates. His attributes are perfect, but he is only ranked 22nd in this position because there are too many starting pitchers.

As a starting pitcher, Gerrit Cole is good at 5 pitching methods, among which the best are 4-seam fastball and slider.

92 OVR Pipeline Past Joey Gallo

• Contact Right: 90
• Contact Left: 80
• Power Right: 125
• Power Left: 115
• Vision: 31
• Discipline: 100
• Clutch: 88
• Bunt: 42
• Drag Bunt: 33
• Durability: 96

Joey Gallo is Rangers’ third baseman, first baseman, and left fielder. His contact stat is already high, but what’s amazing is his power stat. With these two stats, he’s good enough to be the 11th-ranked left fielder and the 12th-ranked third baseman.

Joey Gallo has no quirks and a low vision stat, which limits his performance in high-difficulty games.

The above are the rewards and tasks of Pipeline Past Program. Completing these tasks may take some time, but they can greatly enrich your player pool.

To enrich your gaming experience, MLB The Show 25 provides you with a variety of modes and gameplay, allowing you to either form a team of any players according to your preferences, or manage and recruit players as the manager of a fixed famous team.

Of course, no matter which gameplay you choose, on the one hand, you need to earn and consume MLB 25 stubs to get more players, and on the other hand, you must ensure that your players can cooperate effectively with each other.

In fact, if you have a captain player in your team, you can get the corresponding Captain Boosts effect through him, which will bring different benefits to your team.

However, in order to get this benefit, first of all, your team must have a certain number of players, and the captain mainly improves the players according to the team relationship of the players, and the specific improvement effect also depends on the captain and his requirements.

It is worth noting that the captains who bring boost effects include hitting captains and pitching captains. Although there can be a maximum of two different types of captains in each team, the boost effects they bring can be superimposed.

Based on this, we will introduce you to several reliable teams in Diamond Dynasty, as well as the best Captain Boost and player matching scheme.

New York Mets

As a famous baseball team, Mets’ players are already very good, but you have to say that you can make them better with Captain Boost!

Take Mark Vientos as an example. As the team’s third baseman, his current game OVR is 94, but Captain Boost can increase this value to 98. As you can imagine, if this boost is applied to every player, the effect will be amazing.

After that, if you want to bring Tier 3 boost to your team, your team will need to have 18 players. On this basis, if you have both a hitting captain and a pitching captain, the boost effect will be even better.

So you can continue to add John Franco to your team. Although this long-retired player has played for multiple teams, he was finally inducted into New York Mets Hall of Fame in 2012, which is why he can provide a good Captain Boost effect in MLB 25.

Another Mets player worth paying attention to is David Wright. A seven-time All-Star, a two-time Gold Glove Award winner, a two-time Silver Slugger Award winner makes him one of the team’s special captains.

Or, if you’ve noticed, Johan Santana is a very good starting pitcher who you can add to your Mets rotation and make him even stronger with Captain Boost’s effect.

Cleveland Guardians

Another strong team, Guardians also have many captains and regular players worth noting. The first one to introduce to you is José Ramírez. He currently has an OVR of 97 in the game and can provide Tier 1 Captain Boost to his teammates.

In addition, you can also choose Bo Naylor, who will also be a strong enough hitter with his captain skill to make your team score more effective points in Diamond Dynasty games.

On this basis, you can continue to add players such as Jason Kipnis or Andrew Miller to your team, and further improve the team’s strength by enjoying the existing Captain Boost - you may even get 8 runs for right-handed pitching, 8 runs for left-handed pitching, 8 runs for defense, and 8 strikeouts per nine innings.

Arizona Diamondbacks

As a baseball club from National League (NL) West Division, Diamondbacks have achieved a lot in the past years, and naturally cultivated a group of reliable players, the most notable of which is Corbin Carroll.

Although Carroll only made his MLB debut in 2022, he entered MLB All-Star in 2023 and was named National League Rookie of the Year, and won Diamondbacks’ first National League pennant since 2001.

Next, you can choose to add Justin Martínez’s card to your lineup, because his captain nature can bring good boosting to the team. Of course, to help you reach Captain Boost requirement, you also need to add a few players who may not be useful, even if they are just on the bench.

Los Angeles Dodgers

This is also a strong old team, so there are many players worth recruiting, such as Shohei Ohtani or Mookie Betts, whose OVR and other specific stats are very competitive.

Other Teams

In addition to the above representative teams, Miami Marlins, San Diego Padres and Chicago White Sox also have several players worth acquiring, and the boost effect provided by the captain is also very good, but you need to observe and choose them yourself.

Although the players introduced above are all good, whether you want to recruit all of them or just want to utilize Captain Boost effect of some of them, you need to have enough stubs. Therefore, your top priority is to earn more resources through the existing lineup! Good luck!
