2026 Pulse Meridian Baseball: Seven Formats, Confirmed Players and MSRP

Meridian Baseball has seven different ways into the same 2026 set. Pulse's lineup runs from a six-pack Blaster to a one-card, encased-autograph Heatseeker, with Hobby, Jumbo Hobby, Mega, Value and Breaker boxes in between. The current expected release is March 26, 2027, despite the 2026 product year. Release calendar

All seven formats in one place

The MSRP figures come from Pulse's manufacturer sell sheet. Hobby, Jumbo Hobby, Value and Breaker cases each contain twelve boxes; Blaster cases contain forty, Mega twenty and Heatseeker twenty-four. Manufacturer format guide

The Hobby–Value comparison is particularly useful. Hobby has two autographs and ten numbered cards across 96 cards. Value has one autograph and twelve numbered cards across 144 cards. Value therefore puts more of its configuration into the numbered-card run, while Hobby adds a second signature at a slightly lower suggested box price. Jumbo Hobby keeps the 144-card opening and increases the autograph count to five.

Apex and the autograph designs

Paul Skenes leads the Meridian Apex preview, with his pitching delivery set against pale blue, sweeping metallic-looking strokes and the compact Apex mark. Pulse also names North Star, Waypoint, Atmosphere, Pole Shift and Non-Linear in the insert and autograph program. Trey Yesavage appears in North Star, while Eli Willits appears in the Waypoint preview.

Konnor Griffin's Celestial Signatures example uses a very different layout: a light background, fine gold lines and a broad lower signature area beneath his batting image. Pulse also names Prime Meridian Dualis, Tria and Quadra multi-signature autographs. Those are the dual-, triple- and quad-signature designs in the announced program. The pictured signatures and cards are promotional examples of the planned release.

Twenty confirmed players, with more to come

The manufacturer's confirmed player list includes Travis Bazzana, Trey Yesavage, Roman Anthony, Kevin McGonigle, Nick Kurtz, Konnor Griffin, James Wood, David Ortiz, Miguel Cabrera, Greg Maddux, Paul Skenes, George Lombard Jr., Eli Willits, Josuar Gonzalez, Josue De Paula, Franklin Arias, Sebastian Walcott, Theo Gillen, Andrew Fischer and Seaver King. Pulse labels this a developing list with more players to be announced. Confirmed player list

Ortiz, Cabrera and Maddux give the checklist a veteran-and-legend component alongside the younger players. Skenes's Apex and Griffin's Celestial Signatures previews also make clear that Meridian has separate visual approaches for an insert and an autograph card. Pulse describes the release as unaffiliated with professional teams and leagues; its player-focused designs carry the set.

For an autograph-centered opening with a dozen packs, Jumbo Hobby has the largest announced signature count. Breaker concentrates four autographs into eight cards, while Heatseeker reduces the opening to one encased signature. Mega preserves eight packs at the lower autograph-guaranteed MSRP. Those format differences are substantial enough to choose the box around the Meridian cards and opening you actually want.
