Season 3 Awards – Lightning Julio Rodriguez

MLB The Show 24 is bringing one more flash for the end of the regular season with the newest Season 3 Awards Lightning Player for the month of September. Julio Rodriguez wrapped up the Seattle Mariners regular season in spectacular fashion with a BA of .328 with 39 hits, 7 home runs, 22 RBIs and 24 runs scored in his last 26 games of the month. For that dazzling September performance, it should come as no shock that J-Rod attracted the Season 3 Awards Lightning Player position.

Then you’ll want to make sure that you complete the Season 3 Awards Drops 1-6 Programs and collect the six Season 3 Awards players (Yainer Diaz, Willy Adames, Kyle Schwarber, Michael Busch, Luke Weaver, & Nick Martinez) from each of those respective programs in the Season 3 Awards Collection.
