The Cincinnati Reds shortstop (94 OVR) put on a show in April 2026, hitting 8 home runs in the month alone and 10 overall since opening day. That tied a franchise record for the most homers before May 1. On top of that, Elly went on a 14-game hitting streak from April 16 to April 30, making him the perfect pick for your April Spotlight Lightning player.
To get your hands on Lightning Elly, you'll need to work through the April Spotlight Program. Here's the breakdown:
This is your chance to add a historic April performer to your squad and dominate both online matchups and CPU games. Don't sleep on this—Elly's speed, power, and hitting streak make him a game-changer.
Each Drop may have different challenges. Log in every day and complete the easiest tasks first, like playing a few innings or winning a game.
Playing on All-Star or Legend difficulty gives better XP and stats per game. If you're confident, this speeds up hitting, pitching, and fielding challenges.
Stats from any game mode often count. Conquest games and online ranked matches are quick ways to accumulate hits, strikeouts, or innings.
If you have MLB 26 Stubs, buy April Spotlight packs to complete Drops faster—especially useful if you're missing just one or two players.
Co-op games make some missions easier. Focus on hitting or pitching while your teammate handles other stats.
Use the Spotlight Collection tracker to see what's left. This prevents repeating tasks you've already finished and saves time.
