This week's Supercharged update gives MLB The Show 26 players two very different cards to think about. Esmerlyn Valdez brings lineup flexibility, while Hunter Greene offers a pitching option worth testing with MLB The Show 26 stubs already saved for the next roster move.

Valdez Changes How You Build the Lineup
Valdez isn't automatically a must-start just because the Supercharged badge makes his card look exciting. The better question is where he actually helps your squad. If your lineup lacks left-handed pop, contact against a certain pitching style, or a useful bench bat, he can fill that gap quickly. You'll know within a few games whether his swing feels natural. Don't compare him with the best card you own. Compare him with the player he would replace, then judge the upgrade in real gameplay.

1. Check Valdez against your weakest offensive matchup first.
   
2. Test his swing before moving him into ranked games.
   
3. Keep a defensive replacement ready on the bench.
   

Greene Rewards Players Who Trust Their Repertoire
Greene is a different sort of experiment. His value depends less on the card screen and more on whether you can command his pitches when counts get messy. A strong fastball may steal early strikes, but good opponents will sit on it if your sequencing becomes predictable. Mix the slider, change speeds, and avoid chasing strikeouts every batter. In my experience, pitchers like Greene can swing one game quickly, yet they punish players who rush throws or refuse to adjust after the first trip through the order.

• Use the fastball early, then change eye levels.
  
• Work off the slider when hitters sit inside.
  
• Watch stamina before forcing another difficult inning.
  

Reality check: A boosted card still feels bad when its delivery, timing, or pitch mix doesn't suit your hands.

The Seven-Day Window Makes Timing Matter
The short boost period changes the usual decision process. You haven't got weeks to debate whether either card belongs on the roster. Start with a low-pressure test, record what actually happens, and make the call while the boost is still active. Valdez may become a useful matchup bat rather than a permanent starter. Greene might earn one important start, or he may expose command issues you'd rather avoid. Either result is useful, because temporary content should produce information, not blind loyalty.

• Save your original squad before trying both cards.
  
• Test online timing before trusting important matchups.
  
• Plan replacements before the Supercharged period ends.
  

Build Around the Boost Without Chasing It
The smartest approach is to treat these cards as tools, not instructions. Look at the mode you're playing, the opponent you expect, and the weak spot in your current roster. A boosted hitter can cover a bench problem for a week. A boosted starter can give your rotation a fresh look. Neither one should force a complete rebuild if the rest of your team already works. Players also need to separate card value from collection value. Temporary performance matters now; long-term planning still depends on permanent attributes, comfort, and future content.

It’s October 16, 1986. A tired Italian climber stands on top of Lhotse, and when he comes down, he’s the first person known to have finished all fourteen eight thousanders. He did it without supplementary oxygen. That’s the start of a story that still has new chapters.
The page I read lays those chapters out in order. If you’ve ever wondered who has climbed all 14 8000m peaks, this walk through the us mountain ranges early finishers and the key firsts is a good place to begin.
Reinhold Messner, 1986
Messner finished on Lhotse and completed the collection without supplementary oxygen. That makes the first completion and the first legacy no oxygen completion the same achievement. The page calls it the foundational historical record.
Everything afterward is measured against that benchmark. Even the strict true summit system, which came much later, doesn’t erase it. The page keeps Messner as the first broadly recognized climber to complete all 14.
Jerzy Kukuczka, 1987
Kukuczka finished the next year, becoming the second. He’s remembered american peaks for winter ascents and new routes. He used oxygen on Everest, which keeps him out of the all 14 no oxygen category.
That’s a good reminder that style matters as much as count. Two climbers can finish all 14, and still sit in different record boxes because of how they climbed. The roster lists him as “O2 on Everest only.”
The Strict Pioneer: Ed Viesturs
Viesturs completed all 14 in 2005 without supplementary oxygen. After Guinness adopted the updated 8000ers.com standard in 2023, he’s recognized as the first true summit all 14 finisher. The page says Guinness reset affected record categories.
It’s an unusual situation. A record can change after the fact because research changed. Yet the climbing itself stays the same, so the story is about measurement, not the man.
The First Women
Edurne Pasaban finished in May 2010 on Shishapangma and became the first broadly recognized woman, after the dispute around Oh Eun sun’s Kangchenjunga claim. Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner finished on K2 in August 2011 and was the first woman in the legacy record to complete all 14 without supplementary oxygen.
Under the strict standard, Dong Hong Juan is the first woman, finishing on April 26, 2023. Then He Jing’s Manaslu correction in September 2025 completed the strict cycle without oxygen.
Other Milestones
Sanu Sherpa was broadly reported as the first person to complete all 14 twice, finishing his second round on Gasherbrum II in July 2022. Nima Rinji Sherpa finished on Shishapangma in October 2024 at age 18, the youngest broad list finisher.
Kim Hong bin is listed as the first disabled climber broadly recognized with all 14, finishing in 2021. Naoko Watanabe is listed as the first Japanese woman. Each name adds a different dimension.
How to Read the Roster
If you want to see mountains in america in full, the page includes a searchable 77 name roster. You can filter by era, oxygen category or highlighted modern record entries.
Remember its caution: inclusion on the broad roster doesn’t automatically mean a climber is among the 39 strict finishers. Always check which list you’re reading. That small habit avoids most of the confusion around these records.
A Note on Respect
The page also includes Nirmal Purja’s story, including his death in the July 30, 2026 Broad Peak avalanche, confirmed on August 1. His records stay part of the chronology. It’s handled plainly, without drama, which is the right tone for a story like this.
Conclusion
From Messner to the newest strict finishers, the list of who has climbed all 14 8000m peaks keeps growing and keeps being refined. Pair names with dates, oxygen use and verification standard, and the record makes sense. It also answers how many people have climbed all 14 8000m peaks with context.
FAQs
Who has climbed all 14 8000m peaks first?
Reinhold Messner, in 1986, without supplementary oxygen.
Who was the second?
Jerzy Kukuczka, in 1987.
Who was the first woman?
Edurne Pasaban, broadly, in 2010. Dong Hong Juan under the strict standard, in 2023.
Who finished all 14 twice?
Sanu Sherpa, broadly reported, completing his second round in July 2022.
