Framber Valdez

Framber Valdez is a Bronze 74 OVR Starting Pitcher card for the Tigers, part of the Live set in MLB The Show's Diamond Dynasty. He throws left-handed. The card was added to Diamond Dynasty in April 2026.

On the mound, Framber Valdez works with a 5-pitch arsenal led by a 94 mph Sinker and a 94 mph 4-Seam Fastball. His pitching ratings include 94 Velocity, 77 Control, and 96 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats. Notable quirks include Break Outlier from a total of 2 quirks.

DiamondOps grades each pitch in Framber Valdez's arsenal: Slider (S), Sinker (S), 4-Seam Fastball (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 Sinker off the 4-Seam Fastball, so the two share a release look. 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, Framber Valdez currently buys for about 120 stubs, with sell orders near 0 stubs. Over the past 7 days the buy price has climbed roughly 193%. Its quick-sell value of 25 stubs sits at or above the sell price, making it quick-sell viable. DiamondOps flags the card as currently overpriced.

OpScore is DiamondOps' composite rating of a card's in-game performance value. Framber Valdez earns an OpScore of 74.3 on Legend difficulty, ranking #1587 among all cards and #348 among Starting Pitchers.

Live Series cards like Framber Valdez'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 358 cards it scored 70 or above in its 3 graded updates, 69% were upgraded, against 17% by chance: 4.1× better.
