Cover Athlete Packs

The main and best way to get the Cover Athlete players is by opening the packs associated with the group. When you open one, you get to choose one of the 12 players to add to your collection. As of this writing, the only way to acquire a Cover Athlete pack is by purchasing the MVP and Deluxe editions of MLB The Show 22. You only get one pack with your purchase, but there is a possibility that they become available to buy with Stubs later down the road during an event. For now, though, there is only one other way to get these cards.

Marketplace

When players acquire any card in Diamond Dynasty, they can put it up for sale on the in-game Marketplace. You can go there and search for the card you are looking for or go to the Cover Athletes section in Legends & Flashbacks in Collections. Put your cursor on the card you want and press Square on PlayStation, Y on Nintendo Switch, or X on Xbox to bring up a side menu. Select View in Marketplace, and you will be directly taken to see what offers there are for that card right now.
