Kirby Yates is a Silver 77 OVR Relief Pitcher card for the Pirates, 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, Kirby Yates works with a 3-pitch arsenal led by a 93 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 86 mph Splitter. His pitching ratings include 67 Velocity, 84 Control, and 96 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats.

DiamondOps grades each pitch in Kirby Yates's arsenal: Slider (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), and Splitter (A). 2 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 4-Seam Fastball off the Splitter, so the two share a release look. Velocity works against the card here — its 67 mph 4-Seam Fastball is slow enough to cost it in the arsenal score. 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, Kirby Yates currently buys for about 133 stubs, with sell orders near 100 stubs. Over the past 7 days the buy price has fallen roughly 10%. Flipping at current buy and sell prices nets roughly 17 stubs, about a 17% return. DiamondOps suggests waiting for a better entry point.

OpScore is DiamondOps' composite rating of a card's in-game performance value. Kirby Yates earns an OpScore of 66.7 on Legend difficulty, ranking #1444 among all cards and #148 among Relief Pitchers.
