Carlos Hernández

Carlos Hernández is a Bronze 66 OVR Closer card for the Guardians, part of the Live set in MLB The Show's Diamond Dynasty. He throws right-handed. The card was added to Diamond Dynasty in September 2026.

On the mound, Carlos Hernández works with a 5-pitch arsenal led by a 98 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 95 mph Sinker. His pitching ratings include 99 Velocity, 54 Control, and 84 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats.

DiamondOps grades each pitch in Carlos Hernández's arsenal: Slider (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), Sinker (S), Splitter (A), and Knuckle-curve (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. 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, Carlos Hernández currently buys for about 560 stubs, with sell orders near 89 stubs. Over the past 7 days the buy price has climbed roughly 73%. Flipping at current buy and sell prices nets roughly 413 stubs, about a 459% return. DiamondOps flags the card as currently overpriced.

OpScore is DiamondOps' composite rating of a card's in-game performance value. Carlos Hernández earns an OpScore of 64.3 on Legend difficulty, ranking #1692 among all cards and #86 among Closers.

Live Series cards like Carlos Hernández'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. Model v11: of the 162 cards it scored 70 or above in its 1 graded update, 72% were upgraded, against 21% by chance: 3.5× better.
