MLB The Show 26 brings a major shake-up to player ratings, reflecting standout 2025 performances and the game’s updated rating system. Some players have seen massive jumps, while a few have slipped slightly. Here’s a breakdown of the most notable changes for this season.
Major Risers (The Breakout Stars)
Cal Raleigh (C) | 90 OVR (+31)
Raleigh is the biggest story of the year. After a historic 60-home run season in 2025, his rating skyrocketed from 59 to 90 OVR. He now stands as the top power-hitting catcher in the game, making him a must-have for Diamond Dynasty and Franchise players alike.
Paul Skenes (SP) | 90 OVR (+15)
Following a dominant NL Cy Young season, Skenes has earned his place among the elite aces. He boasts some of the highest Velocity and K/9 stats in MLB The Show 26, making him a strikeout machine on the mound.
Tarik Skubal (SP) | 91 OVR
Consistency pays off. Skubal has climbed into the top tier of starting pitchers, second only to Shohei Ohtani in overall value among American League pitchers.
The Top Tier (The 90+ Club)
Shohei Ohtani (TWP) | 92 OVR
Ohtani remains the gold standard. With back-to-back World Series wins and a 55-home run season in 2025, his hitting stats are maxed out, and his pitching keeps him in a class of his own.
Aaron Judge (RF) | 92 OVR
The cover athlete holds strong. Despite some natural age-related speed regression, Judge still has Power vs. Right and Power vs. Left at the 99 cap, making him an offensive force across all modes.
Bobby Witt Jr. (SS) | 91 OVR
Witt has cemented himself as the ultimate all-around shortstop. He combines rare speed with solid contact, making him a dynamic presence both offensively and defensively.
Surprising Decliners & Controversies
Mookie Betts (SS/OF) | 87 OVR
Betts saw a slight dip this year. While still elite, his 2025 metrics, including Hard-Hit % and OPS, showed a minor decline. Many fans are watching closely, as his rating hovers near a potential further drop.
Ronald Acuña Jr. (OF) | 88 OVR
Acuña Jr.’s rating dipped slightly due to recovery time and a decrease in stolen base efficiency in 2025. Despite this, he remains a strong candidate for a Diamond upgrade early in the season.
Live Series Updates
The first big Roster Update dropped on May 8, 2026. MLB The Show 26 now features bi-weekly adjustments, so players’ stats and ratings may change over the course of the season. You can track these updates in-game or through third-party tools like ShowZone, which highlight Attribute Gains and live OVR changes in real-time.
