Connelly Early — Red Diamond 98 OVR Starting Pitcher Overview
Connelly Early is a Red Diamond 98 OVR Starting Pitcher card for the Nationals, part of the New Threads set in MLB The Show's Diamond Dynasty. He throws left-handed. The card was added to Diamond Dynasty in August 2026.
On the mound, Connelly Early works with a 5-pitch arsenal led by a 95 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 94 mph Sinker. His pitching ratings include 90 Velocity, 81 Control, and 99 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats. Notable quirks include Stopper from a total of 3 quirks.
DiamondOps grades each pitch in Connelly Early's arsenal: 4-Seam Fastball (S), Sinker (S), Sweeper (S), Circle Change (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. Velocity works against the card here — its 90 mph Sinker 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, Connelly Early currently buys for about 6,852 stubs, with sell orders near 0 stubs. Over the past 7 days the buy price has climbed roughly 7%. Its quick-sell value of 5,000 stubs sits at or above the sell price, making it quick-sell viable. DiamondOps suggests waiting for a better entry point.
