Erik Tolman is a Common 55 OVR Closer card for the Nationals, part of the Live 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, Erik Tolman works with a 4-pitch arsenal led by a 93 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 91 mph Sinker. His pitching ratings include 74 Velocity, 48 Control, and 57 Break. The profile favors a balanced mix of command and movement.

DiamondOps grades each pitch in Erik Tolman's arsenal: 4-Seam Fastball (S), Sinker (S), Changeup (B), and Curveball (B). 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 Sinker, so the two share a release look. Velocity works against the card here — its 74 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.
