Best Missions To Finish First
To finish Multiplayer Program 4 efficiently in MLB The Show 26, you should prioritize the low-tier stat missions in Events or Battle Royale (BR) modes first. Focusing on these smaller tasks allows you to stack points quickly before grinding the long-term, high-volume milestones.
By organizing your gameplay around specific goals, you can maximize your progress right from the start.
1. Attack the Battle Royale (BR) Specific Missions First
Battle Royale is the fastest way to get a quick burst of points. The requirements are very low, allowing you to knock them out in just a few short games:
Tally 10 Hits in BR: Gives you 5,000 points.
Steal 3 Bases in BR: Gives you 5,000 points.
Strategy: Draft fast players at the bottom of your lineup specifically to grind the stolen bases while working toward your hit milestones.
2. Stack Lower-Tier Cumulative Stat Missions
Do not focus on the massive end-game numbers right away. Instead, target the "Part I" and "Part II" versions of the global multiplayer missions. Because these tracks overlap, you will naturally build progress toward the later tiers while banking quick early rewards:
Strikeouts Part I & II: Tallying 10 and 25 strikeouts across any online mode rewards 5,000 points each.
Total Bases Part I & II: Reaching 50 and 100 total bases awards 5,000 points each.
Home Runs Part I: Hitting just 5 home runs nets you an easy 5,000 points.
3. Grind the "Legends and Flashbacks" Event
The newly launched Legends and Flashbacks Event is the best ecosystem for rapid progression.
Fast Games: Event matches are only 3 innings long, making them much quicker than full Ranked Season games.
Pitching Innings Loop: You can easily chain together the repeatable mission, which awards 5,000 points for every 9 full innings pitched online.
Missions Overlap: You can accumulate your cumulative Total Bases, Strikeouts, and Home Runs much faster here due to shorter, faster-paced games.

Multiplayer Program 4 Program Missions & Progression
Multiplayer Program 4 progression requires earning 150,000 total program points through a variety of online tasks. You can build points toward this track by playing any competitive multiplayer mode in Diamond Dynasty, including Ranked Seasons, Battle Royale (BR), and Events.
Cumulative Stat Missions (Any Multiplayer Mode)
These missions track your total gameplay numbers across all online games. Lower tiers automatically feed into the higher tiers as you play:
Total Bases (TB)
Part I: Tally 50 total bases (5,000 points)
Part II: Tally 100 total bases (5,000 points)
Part III: Tally 200 total bases (10,000 points)
Part IV: Tally 400 total bases (15,000 points)
Wheel Bonus (Part V): Tally 600 total bases (30,000 points)
Wheel Bonus (Part IV): Tally 50 home runs (30,000 points)
Battle Royale (BR) Bonus Missions
These challenges are exclusive to the draft-based Battle Royale mode and offer large payouts for quick achievements:
Hits: Tally 10 total hits in BR (5,000 points)
Stolen Bases: Steal 3 bases in BR (5,000 points)
Single-Entry Wins: Tally 5 wins in a single BR run (10,000 points). Note: This resets if your entry ends.
Repeatable Infinite Mission
Pitching Innings: Tally 9 full innings pitched in online multiplayer modes (5,000 points). This mission is fully repeatable and acts as your safety net to finish the program if you run out of standard missions. Partial innings do not count.
Tips & Strategies
To finish Multiplayer Program 4 fast and earn the 97 OVR Nolan Ryan, you need to combine your goals. Mixing your lineups and playing the right modes will save you a lot of time.
Here are the best tips and strategies to breeze through the 150,000-point reward track.
1. Stack the "Wheel Bonus" Multipliers
The largest point payouts come from the final "Wheel Bonus" stages of the stat tracks. These give you a massive 30,000 points each for hitting 600 total bases, 200 strikeouts, and 50 home runs.
The Strategy: Do not switch your lineup often. Keep your best power hitters in your squad at all times to build toward the 600 total bases and 50 home runs simultaneously.
Pitching Tip: When playing online, focus on high-strikeout pitchers rather than contact pitchers. You want to hunt for the 200 strikeouts to trigger that huge 30,000-point boost.
2. Speed Run Battle Royale (BR)
Do not skip the Battle Royale missions. They offer 20,000 total points for very little effort.
The Draft Strategy: When drafting your BR team, prioritize speed and contact for your bench or lower lineup. You only need 3 stolen bases and 10 hits total.
Get Cheap Wins: BR games are only 3 innings long. If you can string together a 5-win run on a single entry, you instantly pocket a 10,000-point bonus.
3. Use the Event Mode for Free Points
The Legends and Flashbacks Event is the most efficient place to grind your repeatable innings.
The 9-Inning Loop: You get 5,000 points for every 9 innings pitched. Because Event games are short (3 innings), you can complete a full loop every 3 games.
No Risk: Unlike Ranked Seasons, losses in Event mode do not hurt your standing. You can play relaxed, test out new hitters, and focus strictly on throwing strikes to get your 200 strikeouts.
4. Create a Power-Heavy Lineup for Ranked
If you prefer 9-inning Ranked Season games, build a lineup focused entirely on Power (PWR) attributes.
Max Out Total Bases: A home run is worth 4 total bases, a triple is 3, and a double is 2. Contact hitters who hit singles will make the 600 Total Bases mission take much longer. Fill your lineup with sluggers to maximize your bases per hit.
