MLB The Show 21 Battle Royale rewards for the June 22 refresh were revealed featuring new Giancarlo Stanton and James Paxton cards.
The Battle Royale program refreshes every couple of weeks featuring new special Diamonds available for those who either go 12-0 Flawless or finish the 100 point program. Battle Royale is one of the most popular modes in MLB The Show's Diamond Dynasty letting players draft squads and compete against other players for special rewards.
The Flawless pack is the big prize at the end of every perfect run. These two new cards were previously teased by San Diego Studios.

MLB The Show 21 Battle Royale Rewards Revealed: Giancarlo Stanton and James Paxton
The first card is a 96 overall 2nd Half Giancarlo Stanton during his 2017 season with the Miami Marlins. The outfielder is sure to shake up some lineups considering how popular his 42 Series card was at the beginning of the game.
The next card is a 98 overall Milestone for James Paxton. The Milestone card celebrates his no-hitter with the Seattle Mariners from May 8, 2018. This card will continue to help players grind toward the 99 overall Mariano Rivera.
The previous BR rewards, Trevor Story and Al Leiter, are highly praised by the community. These two cards look like they'll be staples for high-end squads as we move into July.
The new BR program goes live today, June 2, at 3 p.m. ET.
