Anthony Bender

Anthony Bender is a Silver 79 OVR Relief Pitcher card for the Marlins, 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, Anthony Bender works with a 5-pitch arsenal led by a 96 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 95 mph Sinker. His pitching ratings include 99 Velocity, 71 Control, and 96 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats.

DiamondOps grades each pitch in Anthony Bender's arsenal: Slider (S), Sweeper (S), Sinker (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), and Circle Change (A). 4 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. 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, Anthony Bender currently buys for about 220 stubs, with sell orders near 151 stubs. Over the past 7 days the buy price has fallen roughly 10%. Flipping at current buy and sell prices nets roughly 45 stubs, about a 30% return. DiamondOps suggests waiting for a better entry point.

OpScore is DiamondOps' composite rating of a card's in-game performance value. Anthony Bender earns an OpScore of 77.8 on Legend difficulty, ranking #1106 among all cards and #47 among Relief Pitchers.

Live Series cards like Anthony Bender'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).
