MLB The Show 22: How to Complete April Monthly Awards Program

It's hard to realize that baseball season has already started. That means it's time for MLB The Show to start airing the inaugural Monthly Awards show. The April edition has begun, and we're here to walk you through the program and break down the benefits while covering the dos and don'ts.

How to Complete April Monthly Awards Program

Monthly Awards, for those unfamiliar with MLB The Show, is a program that celebrates notable moments throughout the season by utilizing MLB's real-life partnership with Topps trading cards. Every week, a new set of moments will be published, and at the end of the month, you'll be able to trade in all of the cards you've won in challenges for a 'Lightning' Monthly Awards player that matches the game's top cards.

This year, however, things are a little different. Rather than providing sets of moments and then a program at the end of the month, Sony San Diego has decided to update the program as new cards become available. We'll have to wait a few more weeks to find out what cards are at the end of the program. However, we do know that in order to progress from stage 1 to stage 2, you'll need 17 Topps Now cards.

It is crucial to the program's success that these cards not be sold. If you need Stubs, you can sell them, but if you want Monthly Awards players, you'll need to get another copy of that card. Once again, we strongly advise you not to discard these cards. Let's go into the incentives now.

You can lock in the cards you've earned for extra points toward future rewards once you've completed them all. Throughout April, we will update this guide as new information becomes available.
