With MLB The Show 21 slated to launch worldwide on April 20, now seems like a good time to go over the first major program of 2021. The 1st Inning Program is now live for those who bought the Collector’s Edition, and will be available on the 20th for those who are getting the Standard Edition.
So, what the rewards for this program, and how can you earn progress? Let’s go over what you need to know for the 1st Inning Program.
How to earn progress
To earn progress in this event, you’ll need to get XP.
