Chris Sale

Chris Sale is a Red Diamond 99 OVR Starting Pitcher card for the Braves, part of the 2026 Finest set in MLB The Show's Diamond Dynasty. He throws left-handed. The card was added to Diamond Dynasty in November 2026.

On the mound, Chris Sale works with a 4-pitch arsenal led by a 97 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 95 mph Sinker. His pitching ratings include 99 Velocity, 99 Control, and 99 Break. The profile favors a balanced mix of command and movement. Notable quirks include Stopper and Break Outlier from a total of 5 quirks.

DiamondOps grades each pitch in Chris Sale's arsenal: Slider (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), Sinker (S), and Circle Change (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, Chris Sale currently buys for about 140,000 stubs, with sell orders near 80,000 stubs. Flipping at current buy and sell prices nets roughly 45,998 stubs, about a 57% return. DiamondOps suggests waiting for a better entry point.

OpScore is DiamondOps' composite rating of a card's in-game performance value. Chris Sale earns an OpScore of 107 on Legend difficulty, ranking #161 among all cards and #8 among Starting Pitchers.
