With tons of options out there, it’s tough to figure out which ones are worth keeping. This article breaks down the top SR and SSR Speed Support Cards and explains how they can level up your Career runs.

Note: A fully maxed-out (MLB) SR card will outshine an unupgraded or 1LB SSR card.

5) Sweep Tosho
