Peanut Johnson — Diamond 85 OVR Starting Pitcher Overview

Peanut Johnson is a Diamond 85 OVR Starting Pitcher card for the Free Agents, part of the The Negro Leagues set in MLB The Show's Diamond Dynasty. He throws right-handed. As a two-way card, he can be used as both a hitter and a pitcher in the same lineup. He is also eligible at Second Baseman. The card was added to Diamond Dynasty in April 2026.

On the mound, Peanut Johnson works with a 5-pitch arsenal led by a 94 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 82 mph Slider. His pitching ratings include 72 Velocity, 0 Control, and 87 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats. Notable quirks include Breaking Ball Hitter from a total of 5 quirks.

Peanut Johnson is eligible at 2 positions, and DiamondOps scores each one separately: Second Baseman (69.9) and Designated Hitter (66.3) on All-Star. The best fit is Second Baseman rather than the listed Starting Pitcher, and that holds at every difficulty. At Second Baseman the card scores 69.9 on All-Star, 74.6 on Hall of Fame, and 76.0 on Legend — it keeps 109% of its All-Star value at the top difficulty, which is unusually durable. Among Starting Pitchers the card ranks #249 on Legend and #318 on All-Star.

DiamondOps grades each pitch in Peanut Johnson's arsenal: Slider (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), Circle Change (A), Curveball (B), and Screwball (C). 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 Slider, so the two share a release look. Velocity works against the card here — its 72 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.

Peanut Johnson is not currently traded on the open Diamond Dynasty market — cards like this are typically earned through programs or collections rather than bought with stubs.

OpScore is DiamondOps' composite rating of a card's in-game performance value. Peanut Johnson earns an OpScore of 75.6 on Legend difficulty, ranking #1111 among all cards and #249 among Starting Pitchers.
