Complete Guide to Diamond Dynasty PXP (Player XP)
Player XP (PXP) is the progression system in MLB The Show's Diamond Dynasty mode that allows you to level up individual player cards through the Parallel system. As you accumulate PXP with a specific card, you'll unlock Parallel levels that provide permanent stat boosts to that player, making them more valuable in competitive play.
What is PXP in Diamond Dynasty?
PXP stands for Player Experience Points, which you earn by using specific player cards in Diamond Dynasty game modes. Every plate appearance, pitch thrown, or defensive play contributes to that card's PXP total. Unlike general XP that levels up your profile, PXP is tied specifically to individual cards in your collection.

How to Earn PXP Quickly
Maximizing your PXP gains requires understanding which actions provide the most points:
Hitters: Hits, home runs, RBIs, and extra-base hits provide significant PXP. A home run can net 30-50+ PXP depending on the situation.
Pitchers: Strikeouts, quality starts, complete games, and wins accumulate PXP. A 9-inning shutout with high strikeouts can earn 200+ PXP.
Game Mode Multipliers: Ranked Seasons and Battle Royale offer 1.5x PXP multipliers, while special events may offer 2x or higher.
Online vs Offline: Generally, online competitive modes reward more PXP than CPU games.
💡 Pro Tip: Parallel Grinding Strategy
For efficient PXP grinding, play Mini Seasons or Conquest on lower difficulties with your target players in the starting lineup. Stack your lineup with players you want to parallel, and lead off your best hitters to maximize plate appearances. For pitchers, complete games in conquest or vs CPU are ideal.
Best Game Modes for PXP Grinding
Ranked Seasons: 1.5x multiplier with competitive matchmaking. Best for skilled players.
Battle Royale: 1.5x multiplier in draft format. Great for trying new cards while earning PXP.
Mini Seasons: Full 9-inning games against CPU with decent PXP rewards.
Conquest: Quick games for efficient grinding, especially stronghold games.
Events: Often feature boosted PXP multipliers during special promotions.
Understanding the Superfractor Grind
Reaching Parallel 5 (Superfractor) is the ultimate goal for dedicated players. The rainbow border signifies you've fully maxed out that card. At 25,000 total PXP, expect to invest 150-200+ games per card depending on performance and game modes. Focus on your most-used cards first, typically your ace pitcher and cleanup hitters.
PXP Per At-Bat and Inning Estimates
While exact PXP values vary by situation, here are general estimates:
Strikeout (at-bat): 0 PXP
Walk: 3-5 PXP
Single: 8-12 PXP
Double: 15-20 PXP
Triple: 20-25 PXP
Home Run: 30-50 PXP
Pitcher Inning (clean): 10-15 PXP
Pitcher Strikeout: 5-8 PXP each
Why Parallel Your Cards?
The +5 attribute boost at Parallel 5 might seem small, but in competitive play, every point matters. A 99 overall card becomes effectively a 104 overall in key stats. This can be the difference between a flyout and a home run, or a ball and a strike. Additionally, Superfractor cards are prestigious status symbols in the Diamond Dynasty community.
