Aroldis Chapman

Aroldis Chapman is a Diamond 87 OVR Closer card for the Red Sox, part of the Live set in MLB The Show's Diamond Dynasty. He throws left-handed. The card was added to Diamond Dynasty in April 2026.

On the mound, Aroldis Chapman works with a 4-pitch arsenal led by a 98 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 95 mph Sinker. His pitching ratings include 99 Velocity, 71 Control, and 99 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats. Notable quirks include Outlier II from a total of 3 quirks.

DiamondOps grades each pitch in Aroldis Chapman's arsenal: Slider (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), Sinker (S), and Splitter (A). 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 4-Seam Fastball off the Sinker, so the two share a release look. Its 99 mph Sinker adds a velocity bonus on top. 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, Aroldis Chapman currently buys for about 5,086 stubs, with sell orders near 3,008 stubs. Over the past 7 days the buy price has climbed roughly 34%. Flipping at current buy and sell prices nets roughly 1,567 stubs, about a 52% return. DiamondOps suggests waiting for a better entry point.
