Ted Radcliffe — Diamond 91 OVR Starting Pitcher Overview
Ted Radcliffe is a Diamond 91 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 Catcher. The card was added to Diamond Dynasty in May 2026.
On the mound, Ted Radcliffe works with a 5-pitch arsenal led by a 97 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 94 mph Sinker. His pitching ratings include 95 Velocity, 72 Control, and 99 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats.
Ted Radcliffe is eligible at 2 positions, and DiamondOps scores each one separately: Catcher (86.8) and Designated Hitter (71.9) on All-Star. The best fit is Catcher rather than the listed Starting Pitcher, and that holds at every difficulty. At Catcher the card scores 86.8 on All-Star, 91.7 on Hall of Fame, and 92.7 on Legend — it keeps 107% of its All-Star value at the top difficulty, which is unusually durable. Among Starting Pitchers the card ranks #189 on Legend and #226 on All-Star.
DiamondOps grades each pitch in Ted Radcliffe's arsenal: Slider (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), Sinker (S), Splitter (A), and Curveball (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 4-Seam Fastball off the Sinker, 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.
Ted Radcliffe 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. Ted Radcliffe earns an OpScore of 80.9 on Legend difficulty, ranking #926 among all cards and #189 among Starting Pitchers.
