We’re days away from kicking off the 2023 season and judging by the performances at the World Baseball Classic and Spring Training, we’ll have no shortage of electric highlights coming your way. Following last week’s rundown of the upcoming MLB Showstopper ICONs and 2023 Team Packs, it’s time to shed some more light on Candy’s 2023 MLB Highlights!
Highlights are official MLB-licensed video collectibles that contain the 2023 season’s greatest moments. There’s no way of knowing what’ll happen this season, but rest assured – once history is made on-field, the most unforgettable moments will be cemented in the form of a Highlights collectible.
Here’s what you can look forward to:

Similar to last year, we will be releasing unique Milestone Marks that celebrate big moments in baseball. From individual accomplishments like Miggy’s 3000th hit to team-wide performances like the Mets’ combined no-hitter, there is never a shortage of moments to celebrate.
Drop Details:
- Milestone Marks will be dropped ad-hoc throughout the season as significant games or record breaking events come up
- All Milestone Marks will be Limited Edition and available until they sell out
- Edition sizes and prices will vary depending on the Highlight
