The Moonshot Event Program in MLB The Show 26 is one of those grinds that looks tiny at first, then quietly eats your evening. It's expired now, with a listed end date of May 22, 2026, but players still check the reward path because 93 overall Mural Series Mike Moustakas sat right in the middle of it. If you were watching the market, saving MLB The Show 26 stubs mattered, because his scraped Buy Now price showed 43,425 stubs while Sell Now sat at 38,016 stubs.



How the Moonshot grind actually worked
The program path was pretty clean. At 10 Program Points, you got 10,000 XP. At 25, three The Show Packs. At 50, the big one: Mike Moustakas, 93 overall, Mural Series, primary third base. After that, the path kept going to 75 for a Deluxe Mural Pack and 100 for a disputed reward name.


That 100-point slot is the messy bit. One source calls it an Events Rewind Pack. Another just labels it as a bonus reward. Not ideal, especially if you're digging through old data and trying to decide whether the extra grind was worth it. The safer read is simple: Moose was secure at 50, but the 100-point prize needs in-game confirmation.



Best mission overlap for quick progress
1. Hit homers first, because they feed nearly every hitting mission.


2. Keep Mural Series cards active for the 2,500 PXP task.


3. Don't ignore wins, since five wins carried 15 points.



Reality check: Moonshot sounds casual, but 30,000 Parallel XP still feels like homework after midnight.



Reward path snapshot
Here's the clean version most players care about when comparing old event value, without pretending the uncertain reward is fully verified.

The table also shows why stopping at 50 made sense for some players. If you only wanted Moose, you didn't need to max the program.



Community question that keeps popping up
    Someone asked if Munetaka Murakami was tied to this Moonshot reward path because his name showed up nearby in scraped data.


    Nope. Murakami was listed as Live Series, 78 overall Silver, marketplace and pack eligible, not a Moonshot program reward.



What I'd remember about this event now
The later Moonshot Event was not the same as the WBC Moonshot Event that expired on March 18, 2026 and gave 88 overall Brice Turang at 50 points. This one pushed to 100 points, used the Mural Series theme, and made Mike Moustakas the practical target halfway through. Prices, packs, and sellability rules all need live checking, especially if you're browsing archived pages while planning purchases or looking at MLB The Show 26 buy stubs options before jumping into the marketplace again.U4GM keeps MLB The Show 26 grinding a bit less sweaty.
