The MLB The Show 26 Egg Hunt can be a grind if you try to tackle it randomly. But with the right plan, you can finish it quickly and grab all the rewards, including the 90 OVR Jackson Merrill card. Here’s a step-by-step guide for a fast and easy completion.
Stack Your Lineup for Success
The first step is to prepare your team. Some missions and Conquest objectives are easier with specific players. Before starting the Egg Map Conquest, fill your squad with these key players:
Pitchers
Kerry Wood – required for the "I'm Blue" mission.
- A.J. Puk – needed for the "Whoops" mission.
- Gold Clay Holmes – completes the "Wait a Third..." mission.
Batters
Troy Tulowitzki – useful for Conquest Mysterymaxxing.
Cardinals “Back” series: Nolan Arenado, Nolan Gorman, Juan Yepez, and Dylan Carlson. These players help earn multiple points quickly in Conquest and Mini Seasons.
Stacking your lineup this way lets you knock out several missions at once while capturing eggs across the maps.
Fastest Completion Strategy
Moments First – Complete the four Egg Hunt Moments featuring Tyler Rogers, Phil Rizzuto, Jackson Merrill, and Troy Tulowitzki. This unlocks the Orange Egg and gives you initial program points.
Speed-Run Conquest – Play the Egg Map focusing only on capturing strongholds. Simulate all other territory captures. You can finish this in about 20–30 minutes while earning Blue and Yellow Eggs.
Diamond Quest – Complete this map to earn the Pink and Purple Eggs. If home runs are required, switch to Directional Hitting and aim up to increase your fly ball chances.
