How to Get Byron Buxton in MLB The Show 21

First off, there’s no way to currently just buy the single 95 Diamond Byron Buxton card from the Marketplace. That would be too easy. There’s no doubt it would be extremely expensive, but still a bit too easy. We’ll update this guide if Byron Buxton becomes available for purchase in the future.

Unfortunately (or maybe not), this process will be much more of a time sink than a money pit. But in the end, you’ll have one of the best defensive Centerfielders in MLB The Show 21.

It will be such a long grind to obtain this player because the Byron Buxton card is the final reward for completing the April Monthly Award Missions and Moments in MLB The Show 21.

That means you’ll have to complete every last bit of content from the April Missions, Moments, the April Awards and the Topps Now Collection, as well as the April Awards and Topps Now player missions to unlock this highly skilled player. One of the most time-consuming parts will be obtaining 25 cards in one of the Topps Now Collections.

But once that’s all done, you should have the 100 points you need to unlock Byron Buxton. Many MLB The Show 21 players have already unlocked Buxton at this point, so you’ll want to add this player to your lineup as soon as you get him.

If your opponents are going to be patrolling the outfield with a 99 Fielding and 99 Reaction player, then you’ll want to even up the odds and do the same. Plus, his Contact and Power against lefties and righties are extremely good sitting at 84 or higher for each one.

Time needed: 1 minute

Here’s a quick breakdown on how to unlock Byron Buxton in MLB The Show 21:

  1. Complete April Monthly Awards & Topps Now Player Missions

    Complete the list of missions with Monthly Awards and Topps Now Players.

  2. Collect 25 April Monthly Awards & Topps Collection Players

    Obtain the featured April Awards and Topps Collection players.

  3. Complete April Monthly Awards Moments

    Complete all 9 monthly Awards Moments.

  4. Unlock 95 Diamond Byron Buxton

    Doing all of the above should give you the 100 points needed to unlock Buxton.
