Alex Bregman is the featured reward in August Spotlight Drop 4 in MLB The Show 26. His new 99 OVR Spotlight card is available through the Diamond Dynasty program and can also complete the final requirement for the August Lightning collection. For players trying to improve their infield without relying entirely on the marketplace, this is a card worth picking up. You can save your MLB Stubs for other roster upgrades while working through the program.

How to Unlock Alex Bregman

Bregman becomes available at 140 program points in August Spotlight Drop 4. The program includes Moments, missions, collections, and several player rewards.

The easiest free route is fairly simple:

• Complete the 7 standard Moments for 35 points.
• Choose 4 standard 30-point missions.
• Reach at least 155 points.
• Claim the 99 OVR Alex Bregman reward at 140 points.

You don't need to complete the Extreme Moment or the Spotlight Pack collection to get Bregman. That makes the card much easier to earn for players who don't want to spend extra resources. If you're missing cards for your Diamond Dynasty lineup, you can also buy MLB Stubs, but purchasing currency isn't required to unlock this reward.

August Spotlight Drop 4 Missions

There are six standard missions available, and you only need four of them to reach the Bregman reward after completing the Moments:

• Earn 10,000 Parallel XP with any players.
• Earn 2,500 Parallel XP with Spotlight or Topps Now players.
• Record 30 hits with primary infielders.
• Collect 50 total bases with primary outfielders.
• Pitch 18 innings with any pitchers.
• Record 24 strikeouts with primary starting pitchers.

Which Missions Should You Pick?

The best missions depend on which Diamond Dynasty modes you already play. Don't pick objectives that force you into a mode you normally avoid.

For example, you can use a Conquest lineup filled with Spotlight and Topps Now players. While playing through games, you'll naturally build Parallel XP and work toward hit or total-base requirements at the same time.

If you already have several strong pitchers, the innings and strikeout missions are also easy choices. Players trying to build their roster on a budget may want to prioritize missions that use cards they already own rather than buying specific players with cheap MLB Stubs.

Alex Bregman 99 OVR Card Overview

Bregman is mainly a third baseman, but he can also play second base and shortstop. That positional flexibility is one of the biggest reasons to consider using him.

His key hitting attributes include:

• 105 Contact vs RHP
• 115 Power vs RHP
• 125 Batting Clutch
• Right-handed batter
• 3B, 2B, and SS eligibility

The 125 Batting Clutch stands out when games get tight. Bregman can be particularly useful when you need a dependable hitter late in a game with runners on base. His multiple infield positions also make it easier to fit him around other high-rated Diamond Dynasty cards.

August Lightning Collection

Bregman is also one of the four cards required for the August Lightning collection. The other three Spotlight cards are:

• Angel Genao
• Gunnar Henderson
• Nick Sogard

Collecting three of the four rewards 99 OVR JJ Bleday, while collecting all four unlocks 99 OVR Jac Caglianone.

This makes Bregman more valuable than a standard program reward. Even if you don't plan to use him permanently, unlocking the card can help push your collection toward the higher-rated Lightning rewards.

Is Alex Bregman Worth Unlocking?

Yes. The program doesn't require a huge amount of grinding if you choose your missions carefully. Seven Moments plus four standard missions are enough to reach the 140-point requirement, and most of the objectives can be completed naturally while playing Conquest, Events, Ranked, Mini Seasons, or other Diamond Dynasty modes.

Bregman also gives you a flexible infield option while contributing directly to the August Lightning collection. If you're comparing the cost of buying additional roster pieces, check the current MLB Stubs for sale, but completing August Spotlight Drop 4 should be the first step for players who want this 99 OVR reward.
