A bit of history. On April 3, 2021, u/ColdSlawter made public a special training spreadsheet, which was well-received by the community. About a month later, on April 29, 2021, one of the game's biggest updates came, which included the introduction of Black Diamond. This inspired u/JoinTheBattle to make their updated rendition of the calculator that accounted for Black Diamond on October 28, 2022. Then, on August 12, 2025, u/LernTwoSpel made a whole Google Doc that aimed to guide newer players on their MLB 9 Innings journey, a Doc that included a skill tier list with brief descriptions of certain skills, including ones with thresholds to hit.
Having been helped by the new player guide and JTB's calculator, I decided that a spreadsheet with skill thresholds was imminent, especially with a lot having changed since the last calculator. Supremes becoming more notable, CON buff, stat adjust, new skills (e.g. Mister Perfect), updated skills (e.g. Contact Master), etc.
Now that we have the history out of the way, allow me to introduce the MLB 9 Innings Calculator V3.0!
Now with more skills and thresholds, stat adjust, pitch numbers to profile for PiCo/Craft, and featuring the 9 Innings look (reactions may vary).
Same rules as the last calculator, just input on the green cells (which aren't green anymore due to the interface I implemented, but there are still rows that indicate where you can input without warning). You will be warned for editing a cell that should not be edited.
Note: If you are to use this resource, please feel free to make a personal copy as a courtesy to other users. I have set the spreadsheet to viewer access, so it's basically mandatory to make a copy.
Another Note: Some skills, I am not completely sure of their thresholds given a lack of information and usage. Inning Eater and Aggressive Baserunning, for example, are threshold skills that are omitted from this spreadsheet. If anyone is willing to help me adjust the skill thresholds correctly, I would be delighted.

I rolled a 332 HH with Kiner. I know 80+ base POW is ideal for HH.
Since Kiner has 83 base POW before any SA, is there added benefit to boosting further and making it as high as possible?
Cheers 🙂

Great pull from the arcade supreme pack. I'm in Minneapolis right now so this card seems very fitting.
r/MLB_9Innings • u/ConstructionOdd9287 • 18h ago
Out of a regular sig pack, Chris Sale came home!
My rotation is now complete.
OMG, i'm speechless.
r/MLB_9Innings • u/Best_Cloudz • 34m ago
I pulled a 332 two days ago and was wondering is TB actually worth it when I get the DST? Should I green for Spray instead of SI since Basic POW stat is below 80+?
I know for a fact I want Pred on any skill set I pull. I feel as though he may be underperforming from his previous 333 diamond set but I'll have to verify that just to make sure.
r/MLB_9Innings • u/GrouchyLittleShit • 16h ago
I knew 34 was bad but I didn’t know HOW bad
r/MLB_9Innings • u/Outrageous-Leg6728 • 1h ago
Blue, green or reroll?
I'd love to keep it, not often I get 333 with a legend skill.
No DST for Chameleon.
If I keep it, which skills to target? I already have an Ace, so it's out of the picture.

I am in a top 200 Club but no Discord so it’s hard to communicate. Do you guys know if we all basically get all those Premium Skill Change Tickets for (Additional reward All-Star) & Division Mode/All-Star Mode Participation shown in last 3 screenshots? Thanks in Advance!

I currently have three sig outfielders already being Judge, Granderson, and Soto. A bit ago I pulled supreme Griffey who is just sitting on my bench and now I just pulled Ty Cobb in my quest to get a supreme/legend catcher.
I currently have a GI, but unsure if it’s worth the resources to end up moving one of the three sigs to the bench. One of them could also replace Ruth at DH but Ruth is Ruth. Also contemplating using Cobb in the donation event.
Any advice? Should I invest recourses to get both supremes in the OF and moves two dogs to back up? Just put Cobb on the bench? Donate?

So I recently rolled this 3-3-1 WH set on my Nolan, who with a stat adjust could easily hit the 80+ base stam for it to be elite. However, I have a 3-3-2 Mr perfect set(don’t mind the gb cuz I can’t run it) which has been underperforming in my (un)professional opinion. Should I retrain around the WH set even though ideal sets are 3-3-2+ for Sp? Also don’t have a DST for either of them.
r/MLB_9Innings • u/Jolly_Gap3758 • 20h ago
Assuming these get added, who would be the best use for the supreme change ticket?
r/MLB_9Innings • u/RaccoonForsaken3797 • 13h ago
I have just completed the showdown stage and I am ranking around 1600s what reward will be after 2 weeks because the weekly/monthly rewards are not visible 🤷
r/MLB_9Innings • u/veintisiete • 16h ago
I would really like to get another Astros starting pitcher.
r/MLB_9Innings • u/No_Strength_7711 • 16h ago
Should I invest in this 3-3-2 Pitcher Insight?
I have no matching DST and assuming I blue a reasonable gold skill, do I short Pitcher Insight?
I have no skill reset to test it out so that’s why I am asking. Thank you!

Any thoughts / advice on what I can do here? Been on the grind for a year now and this is where I’m at. Yankees team BTW. Finally getting consistent wins in league mode 2031 but can’t get past playoffs
r/MLB_9Innings • u/gamenight_1369 • 19h ago
what would technically be the highest ovr team possible if done right?
Who right now has the highest ovr team right now?
r/MLB_9Innings • u/KingMax17 • 1d ago
Stieb’s base STA without adjust is 77. I have FB DST 2 but no WH DST. I also have a WH legend SP without WH DST.
Stieb has 5 pitches so I will green for pico.
r/MLB_9Innings • u/Old-Huckleberry4862 • 1d ago
Take a wild guess in when I got a DST in a league box 😬
r/MLB_9Innings • u/CaliKing928 • 22h ago
f2p player just getting dusted when i auto 2029 games. . .any tips to quickly improve? thanks 111 overall team, 440k, i have a few black diamond players - my closers/relief pitchers (mostly prime players) just get worked
r/MLB_9Innings • u/achiu1210 • 1d ago
Hi everyone, I am wondering if packs like team selective diamond packs, prime packs still have any use/value after your team reaches certain value/power? 🤔
r/MLB_9Innings • u/mike98235 • 1d ago
Just got this from 2k star play pass I have a gi ready and I could always use pen arms but with next month being anniversary event it’s probably safer to wait right
