Egg Locations & Requirements
The fastest way to complete the Egg Hunt is to start with the Moments, then stack your lineup for Conquest. Here’s what you need to know:
Orange Egg: Complete all 4 Egg Hunt Program Moments. Start here to get early progress and your first egg.
Blue Egg: Capture all territories on the Egg Map in Conquest mode. Focus on efficiency; the right lineup makes this quicker.
Yellow Egg: Own all strongholds on the Egg Map. These take some extra planning but can be done while going for the Blue Egg.
Pink & Purple Eggs: Earned as rare or Epic rewards for completing the Egg Hunt Diamond Quest. These require some precision hitting and strategy.
Green Egg (Bonus): Tally 10 doubles with any hitters in multiplayer modes.
Red Egg (Bonus): Tally 3 stolen bases with any hitters in multiplayer modes.
Start with the Moments to secure your Orange Egg, then move on to Conquest for the Blue and Yellow Eggs. Bonuses can be collected as you play multiplayer.

Pro Completion Tips
Stack Your Lineup: For the "Back" series missions, load your lineup with Cardinals like Arenado, Gorman, Yepez, and Carlson. You can finish multiple missions in one game.
Diamond Quest Tip: Struggling with home runs? Switch to Directional Hitting and point the stick up. This increases your fly ball odds.
Online Missions: Play Events instead of Ranked for doubles and stolen bases. Matches are shorter, and the competition is usually easier.
Acquiring A.J. Puk: Don’t own him? Draft him in the first round of Battle Royale, pitch one inning, and quit. It’s cheaper than buying him on the market.
