If you are looking to build a competitive Diamond Dynasty squad without burning through your hard-earned Stubs, the weekly Supercharged player updates are easily some of the best features in MLB The Show 26. This week, the community handed out massive upgrades to two absolute studs: Minnesota Twins third baseman Royce Lewis and San Francisco Giants ace Logan Webb. Both players have been elevated to 96 OVR Diamond cards after winning the Fan-Voted Supercharged Player of the Week for June 8–14. For budget-conscious players or anyone looking to fill gaps for a deep Ranked Seasons push, these temporary boosts give you legitimate, high-tier competitive cards entirely for free—assuming you already have their base Live Series items sitting in your inventory. Let's break down exactly what makes these two cards so dangerous right now and how you can get the most out of them before the clock runs out. Royce Lewis (3B) – 96 OVR BoostRoyce Lewis absolutely dominated the fan vote this week, and it is easy to see why looking at his real-world production. He posted a ridiculous .455 batting average, smacked 3 home runs, and put up an elite 280 wRC+. In MLB The Show 26, this translates into taking his standard Bronze card and turning it into a premier offensive juggernaut. Elite Offensive Metrics: This card hits both sides incredibly well. He boasts 100 Contact vs. Left and 96 Contact vs. Right, paired with an even crazier 96 Power vs. Left and 104 Power vs. Right. He can comfortably sit in the middle of any competitive lineup. Position Versatility & Lineup Placement: While his primary listed slot is Third Base (3B), his defensive stats don't quite match his elite offensive scaling. To optimize your defense, he makes for an exceptional choice at the Designated Hitter (DH) spot. Key Quirks: He retains the highly coveted Breaking Ball Hitter quirk. If you match up against opponents who spam sliders and curveballs down and in, Lewis will absolutely punish those pitches. The Catch: Keep an eye on his base running. His Speed remains at a low 47, meaning he is strictly a station-to-station runner and won't be generating any threat on the basepaths.
Logan Webb (SP) – 96 OVR BoostOn the pitching side of the vote, Logan Webb locks down a rotation spot. Webb is known for his pinpoint real-world accuracy and command, and this Supercharged boost brings that exact identity right into Diamond Dynasty to neutralize high-power online lineups. Top-Tier Rotation Arm: The 96 OVR boost heavily elevates his H/9 (Hits per 9 innings), K/9, and Stamina. This means he has the stamina to control a full online nine-inning game without his PCI-shrinking attributes tanking too early. Pitch Mix Mastery: Webb relies heavily on a groundball-inducing pitch mix. His bread and butter is a devastating changeup and sinker combination. This visual tunneling keeps online opponents off-balance, forces weak contact, and effectively suppresses the long ball. The Ultimate Budget Ace: If you cannot afford the multi-million or high-tier marketplace pitchers right now, Webb serves as a premier, zero-cost competitive starter who can go toe-to-toe with the best hitters in the game.
How Supercharged Cards WorkSupercharged cards are unique, short-term Live Series item boosts that are triggered either by spectacular real-world performances or community polls. They let budget squads stay viable against God Squads by turning normal, everyday items into absolute monsters for a limited time. FeatureMechanics & Details
