Cade Smith

Cade Smith is a Red Diamond 95 OVR Closer card for the Guardians, part of the Spotlight set in MLB The Show's Diamond Dynasty. He throws right-handed. The card was added to Diamond Dynasty in June 2026.

On the mound, Cade Smith works with a 3-pitch arsenal led by a 98 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 87 mph Splitter. His pitching ratings include 92 Velocity, 94 Control, and 99 Break. The profile favors a balanced mix of command and movement.

DiamondOps grades each pitch in Cade Smith's arsenal: 4-Seam Fastball (S), Sweeper (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 92 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, Cade Smith currently buys for about 33,827 stubs, with sell orders near 19,208 stubs. Over the past 7 days the buy price has fallen roughly 21%. Flipping at current buy and sell prices nets roughly 11,234 stubs, about a 58% return. DiamondOps suggests waiting for a better entry point.
