MLB The Show 26: The Kyle Test Mystery Mission Explained

In MLB The Show 26, one of the fun and challenging aspects of the Egg Hunt Program is the "Kyle Test." This mystery mission requires players to hit a home run with a player named Kyle, specifically Kyle Schwarber, in a special game mode. It's not your typical game mode, but a specific part of the Diamond Quest, so here's everything you need to know to complete this mission and earn a key reward.

What is the Kyle Test?

The Kyle Test is a mission tied to the Egg Hunt Program in MLB The Show 26. It's a bit of a mystery mission, and players need to use Kyle Schwarber (specifically his card from the Diamond Quest) to hit a home run in the right game mode. Completing this mission moves you one step closer to unlocking the ultimate reward of the Egg Hunt Program: a 90 OVR Jackson Merrill.

Key Details About the Kyle Test Mission

• Player Needed: Kyle Schwarber (You'll want to use his Diamond Quest version for this mission. While other Kyle cards, like 88 OVR Live Kyle Tucker or 85 OVR WBC Kyle Teel, may seem like viable options, Schwarber is the primary focus for this mission.)
• Mode: The mission must be completed in Diamond Quest. It will not work in the standard Moments mode, so make sure you are in the right game type. The two best options are Mini Boss Showdown or Stadium Reward Games.
• Home Run Requirement: To complete the mission, you need to hit one home run with Kyle Schwarber in one of these Diamond Quest games.
• Completion Reward: Successfully completing this mission will reward you with one of the special Eggs you need to progress in the Egg Hunt Program, which can eventually unlock exclusive items like the 90 OVR Jackson Merrill card.

How to Complete the Kyle Test

Here's how you can find and complete the Kyle Test in MLB The Show 26:

1. Go to the Egg Hunt Program: First, navigate to the Egg Hunt Program within the game. This program houses all the mystery missions, including the Kyle Test.
2. Select the Diamond Quest Mode: Once inside the Egg Hunt Program, head to the Diamond Quest section. This is where you will need to play the game to complete the mission.
3. Use Kyle Schwarber: The key part of this mission is using Kyle Schwarber. You can use any version of his card, but some players report that only the Diamond Quest variant works, so it's best to use that one. (Keep in mind, other Kyle players like Kyle Tucker or Kyle Teel won't count for this mission, even though they seem like valid alternatives.)
4. Hit a Home Run: The next step is to hit a home run with Kyle Schwarber in either a Mini Boss Showdown or Stadium Reward Game. The home run is the goal—make sure to swing for the fences!
5. Receive Your Egg: Once you've hit the home run, the mission will be marked as complete. You'll receive a special Egg reward, helping you move forward in the Egg Hunt Program and towards unlocking the 90 OVR Jackson Merrill.

Tips for Success

• Focus on Power: Make sure Kyle Schwarber's bat is loaded with power—his card's power stats make him an ideal candidate for hitting a home run.
• Choose the Right Mode: Remember, Moments won't work for this mission. You must do it in Diamond Quest (Mini Showdown or Stadium Reward Game). If you attempt it in Moments, the mission won't count.
• Don't Rush: Take your time and be patient. While this is a simple task, hitting a home run can sometimes be tricky in showdowns depending on the pitcher's stats. Patience will help you get the job done!
