Adrian Houser — Bronze 71 OVR Starting Pitcher Overview
Adrian Houser is a Bronze 71 OVR Starting Pitcher card for the Giants, part of the Live set in MLB The Show's Diamond Dynasty. He throws right-handed. The card was added to Diamond Dynasty in April 2026.
On the mound, Adrian Houser works with a 5-pitch arsenal led by a 95 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 94 mph Sinker. His pitching ratings include 93 Velocity, 70 Control, and 90 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats.
DiamondOps grades each pitch in Adrian Houser's arsenal: Slider (S), Sinker (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), Circle Change (A), and 12-6 Curve (B). 3 of them grade S-tier, which is what separates a genuine out-pitch mix from a deep-but-flat arsenal. Its strongest tunnel pairing is the Sinker off the 4-Seam Fastball, so the two share a release look. Arsenal grades are the same at every difficulty — unlike a hitter's OpScore, a pitch mix does not re-weight as you climb.
On the Diamond Dynasty market, Adrian Houser currently buys for about 86 stubs, with sell orders near 0 stubs. Over the past 7 days the buy price has climbed roughly 197%. Its quick-sell value of 25 stubs sits at or above the sell price, making it quick-sell viable. DiamondOps flags the card as currently overpriced.

Live Series cards like Adrian Houser's are the ones Diamond Radar scores: it reads a player's real MLB production and predicts what the next roster update will do to the card — the predicted rating, the tier jump, and how likely the upgrade is. Ratings only move at a roster update, and not every Live Series card is scored in a given window. Across the season so far, 55% of the cards Radar flags go on to be upgraded, against a 26% background rate across all scored cards — 2.1× better than chance (n=1,061).
