David Bednar is a Silver 79 OVR Closer card for the Yankees, 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, David Bednar works with a 3-pitch arsenal led by a 97 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 92 mph Splitter. His pitching ratings include 89 Velocity, 67 Control, and 90 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats.

DiamondOps grades each pitch in David Bednar's arsenal: 4-Seam Fastball (S), Splitter (A), and Curveball (B). The out-pitch is the 4-Seam Fastball. 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 89 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.
